My Swap from iPhone to Android

I was nervous for the swap.  I didn't know if I would miss my old phone.  A month has gone by and I can honestly say that I don't miss it at all.

I had my iPhone 5 for the 2 years of my contract and I loved it.  It was my home for all of my information and all of my media consumption. I had all of my data backed up to my Mac and my iPad and I could not imagine not having everything on all my devices.

I went into the AT&T store and wasn't sure what I was going to get when I got there.  I had thought about waiting and seeing if I wanted the iPhone 6 plus (so glad I didn't.).  I began by looking at the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.  I liked the large screen size but my thoughts soon went to would I want to have that everyday.  Would that really be nice a month later having to carry it in my pocket to my job.  I decided to look at the smaller screen of the Samsung Galaxy S5.  I loved the size of the screen it made the iPhone in my hand feel small but didn't feel so big that I would struggle to use it one handed.  I decided to go with the S5.

I got home and did all the normal stuff that you do with a new phone.  Sign into Twitter and all of my other social media accounts and then I started digging into the Google Play Store.  I had not had any interaction with Android in two years and I was a little concerned I would be lost.  I was wrong.  I got right back into it found that everything that I used on my iPhone was right there for use on my new phone.

The days went on and I still liked to use my iPad to watch videos and consume media because I was used to it.  But as I got more used to my phone I began to get away from my iPad.  My biggest concern at the time was battery life watching videos and reading articles for hours a day. This fear is gone now.  I don't ever worry about my battery life anymore like I did on my iPhone.  I get a full days use with no issues at all.  I don't even use my iPad anymore because I have become so used to using my phone for everything.

In conclusion for me the switch was a much needed change.  I wouldn't go to iPhone right now if you dropped one in my lap.
