That is a great analogy. Apple takes the approach that "We know what's best" (for you), and to a certain extent I agree, but have always heard the androids are much more customizable.
I've been apple my entire smartphone life - ten years - and am reluctant to change, but I'm going to take a hard look at the Samsung edge 8 vs the Iphone 8 (when it arrives).
Androids are completely customizable, you can change pretty much everything. When the price of the 8 comes down I will probably get it, $30-$35 a month for the next two years knowing that they will roll out at least 2 more Galaxy editions rubs me the wrong way even though I can afford the 8 or 8 Plus. My 5 is still fantastic and with the updates it works perfectly.
I started on a Blackberry way before the iPhone came around. Eventually when Blackberry came out with the Storm, their touchscreen phone, I got one. I went right to an Android from there a couple of years later. I tried an iPhone for two weeks back when Verizon would let you try a new phone for 30 bucks or so for two weeks, but went back to Android because the iPhone's lack of customization.
If you take the time to learn how to tweak it, and as mentioned there are a ton of vids online to help, you'll like it. From my experience I have met more people that have gone from an iPhone to Android and stayed versus the other way around.
Well that didn't last long. I said the hell with that phone and bought me an IPhone. lol I just couldn't do it
A lot of iPhone users end up getting Android phones that have a faulty operating unit. The way to tell is let the screen go dark and then hold it up and look at it to see the problem.
