So here's the situation. I've been a huge fan of Windows. Been using Windows mobile, Windows phone and Windows 10 mobile.
Last phone I got was the Lumia 950XL. Appart from the lackluster build-quality (the mozo leather case kinda made it more bearable), I was extremely satisfied With it. Especially the continuum feature. (Connecting to my Xbox, using Remote desktop to Connect to my University and run matlab and do other School work on my TV. Now that's some great value).
However, I managed to crack up my screen and it's only a matter of time till water seeps in and ruins the Whole phone. It's already started to act up. So I need to find myself a New phone before my 950xl is completely dead.
1) Get the iPhone 7:
- Pricey but somewhat future proof
- Con: No headphone Jack. It's like a huge deal-breaker. I use a headphone to Connect to Xbox, Laptop and School PCs. Having a headphone With Apple proprietary Connection is extremely unpractical.
Solution: Use an adaptor. But the practicality is questionable
2) Get the iPhone SE:
- Way cheaper. Could be a fine temporary phone till Microsoft hopefully releases a Surface Phone.
- Good battery-life.
- Con: The front-facing camera is only 1.2 MP. I do use the front-facing camera alot.
3) Get the iPhone 6s:
- It's got everything I need. But costs way more than the SE. While it's not as future-proof as iPhone 7.
4) Wait another 3 months for iPhone 7s:
- They may consider adding the headphone Jack back in??
- Extremely future proof, even if it's going to be extremely pricey
- Not sure if the 950XL will last another 3 months.
Those seem to be my options as of now. Being deprived of apps, if I'm buying a New phone, if it's anything but Windows, I want the best app experience. Apps on iOS are without any doubt far better than those on Android. Android just has the app-count to boast about, the quality on those apps are aweful! Not to mention the Android lag that would be too obvious on non-flagship Phones. Not to mention the delay in getting Notifications and so on. I just can't stand Android for everyday use, it's just so inconsistent
Please help me, I'm so lost.
