Weekly poll: Is iOS 14 a worthy upgrade? Can it make you switch?

28 June 2020
Some are Android-like, others are things that Android needs. And it's coming to millions of old phones, something Android 11 can't say.

It will take many Android users because of the price worthy iPhone 12 range. So many screen size choices at different price segments and the prestige of having iPhone will always be there. Plus more than 5 years of iOS updates can’t be matched by Android. So sad Android is now being beaten on its own turf. Chinese vendor phones are now more expensive even more than Apple. Crazy times. iOs 14 will be the turning point of it all.

    I switched to iPhone recently, there is nothing in particular about ios that is better than android, UI is still far from perfect, it forces you to do more swipes and clicks which could be done in just one in android. Not at all comfortable for one hand use. Just going back to the previous screen in any app is tedious, control center and notification are tough to access from one hand. Having an eSIM for secondary use. It does not give an option to choose or set preferred sim in apps. Dialler which even the most basic of dumb phones get right, makes you work bit more to call the number that is not saved. So until the basic usability is fixed, switching from android is still far of an option for users.

        So Android users are to hate it or switch to it. We are not all Android users because we hate iOS is just a preference. So there should have been an option that states "i like it but i am not switching"

              No need to switch , I have both Android and iOS and I get equally annoyed with both sometimes , I use my Samsung split screen stuff , music downloads , google maps.

              Everything else is the iPhone.

              I can’t see ios14 being the sole reason to switch OS but I can see people who already were interested in switching thinking it might be good to change.

              I couldn’t leave either OS totally myself , I have my email, calendar, contacts , etc all synced across my iOS, Android and Windows devices , the windows being the least used as I’m moving away from static placed machine.

                It's Samsungfication of iOS. Let's be honest about that.

                Why would I switch from a real Samsung to something that copies what Samsung did years before? I'm one of those who isn't buying in to Apple's fraudulent use of SYNTHETIC benchmarks. Therefore I have zero incentive to switch.

                  Sure. Why not, it won’t hurt one bit.

                    Wow, lot of people thinking to switch to iOS from Android, no wonder Android users are so bitter and insecure about iOS14

                      The only thing APPLE needs to do now is

                      DROP METAL API AND ADOPT VULKAN API

                      They will see a huge increase in games and massive interest from developers.

                        Ensutiat, 28 Jun 2020This poll seems incompleteYess Its Stupid They Didn't Mention Any New Features of IOS 14 like Privacy

                          Ugh, you guys literally have the worst poll options on any website.

                          Where are the simple "yes" or "no" answers? You've provided 4 options and none of them apply to me.

                            Safety features are what takes the cake for me. Very good update

                                    I wish there was an option: "iOS 14 is a good update, still not a reason to switch from Android though".

                                    The update is much better than the past 2 years, but it still lacks tons of necessary features like split screen, so no reason to change.

                                    My last 2 iphones overheated, throttled and dropped brightness to 30% on a daily basis (so much for brightest displays). Thats a deal breaker for me.

                                      Good software, but ugly phone..... Can't switch to that... I love curved screen

                                        The keyboard and mouse in game support seems promising ... if developers are willing to add it will be very good .. plus if they add ntfs external drive support it will be good too
