Survey showed 12 out of 24 Note7 owners switched to iPhone

28 October 2016
Research firm IDC surveyed 1,082 U.S. customers of the Note7 through on online survey on October 17 and 18, just a few days after the phone maker decided to permanently discontinue the productivity-focused phablet.

Someone Else, 29 Oct 2016This comment section is hilarious!!!! On one hand, we ha... moreI used to own an iPhone 4s and then I switched to a Lumia 925... And I'm not lying. I still use it.

    This comment section is hilarious!!!!

    On one hand, we had a group that said
    "I own an iPhone 6s and switched to an Android phone because iOS sucks!"

    On the other hand, we had people saying
    "I used a Nexus 6p, a Galaxy S7 edge, and when I switch to an iPhone, I won't be turning back because Android sucks!"

    People people. Stop lying. It's just pathetic to see tbh. XD

        and if you do a quick google search you'll find articles :|
        for example the share button still has a delay. it takes a bit of time to load the apps and etc, just google it, on xda-reddit or anywhere.

          You people need to stop saying that everything is click bait. This is NOT a click bait. It's not misleading in any way.

              [deleted post]They buy it because it looks cool and has a stylus. They don't buy it for the extra 0.2 inches. If they were smart they would've bought anything but Samsung. Samsung seriously needs to hire some programmers, they screwed up TouchWiz so much that even they don't know how to fix it. Go through the system files of Samsung, there are a bunch of things you will never use, empty folders, broken scripts etc.
              Apple has none of that. HTC has none of that. Sony has none of that. Nobody except Samsung.

                    And speed tests show it to be the fastest on android atm, with a slightly slower GPU.

                        and who wants big screen? well people who have large hands or want to watch movies. In short the people who are willing to live with having a giant phone but have a bigger screen.

                        well I really do care about fast charging. what's your point? but mostly at home when I have time I use a 1A 5V charger to maximize battery life! but that's just me :|

                        - who wants wireless charging?
                        people who don't want to plug a wire? I don't get it....
                        and btw, I don't understand why no company makes a dock like LG G watch instead of wireless charging

                        - who wants expandable camera?
                        what is expandle camera?

                        - who wants better camera?
                        People who take pictures and care about the quality?????


                        This guy lives in self denial as others who hate android phones

                        Dear.... I have a note 4, never had an iPhone, I personally hate the IOS restrictions and well.. the fact that apple is not a nice company, they're very greedy.

AMOLED have a certain lag or delay when turning on, from black to any color, so when you're watching something like the darknight rises, when the batman moves the pixels which were turned off (too be black) have to turn on again, and that takes time. what happens in real life is that you see a purple "tail" or smear behind moving black objects.

                          what you are talking about is burn-in

                          and about lag, I don't know what to say, most of people on reddit xda and youtube admit there's a lag. but I would completely understand if you bought an s7 edge for the good battery life. beatiful design. waterproofing and etc despite the lag. many people don't even care. but for me, it's unusable. And I'm talking about exynos version, snapdragon is much worse according to xda.

                                  if they switched to iphone, that's their choice. i mean we dont have the rights to tell them what to do with their money? we android users know what theyre missing. just enjoy your phones

                                        and speaking of those 12 people who switched to iphone..i dont think they went for the note in the first place for the experience..they probably just went up to the store checked the phone out and bought it, they might not even have taken out the pen...i don't think anyone who actually used the note series completely would settle for anything less, an iphone even less likely..and like you said..benchmarks is not everything
