Let me start by saying that I have had almost every phone out there. It is a hobby and I love them all for one reason or another. My Daily Driver is an Iphone 6S+ and I have no problem with it. I want to make the switch to the 950XL. I want it for a few reasons, one being it is not the same freaking phone as everyone else in the world. It seem that everyone has an iPhone or a Galaxy.
I am looking for inspiration to make the move. Give me some reasons to switch. What is better about the 950XL over the Iphone 6s+???
Thanks
Interesting, never thought someone with an iPhone would actually ask this kind of question
Anyways, so reasons 950XL is better than iPhone 6s+. First up, the camera. I know the iPhone is praised in tech journals that it has a superior camera to everything and everybody should bow down to it, but I am seriously in love with the camera on the 950XL. It is actually quite amazing, but it's one of those things that you have to try it to see.
Second, continuum. This is actually probably my main reason for wanting the phone. You will hear a lot of people on either side of the fence, either they hate it or they love it. It does require additional hardware, but once it's running it is awesome. I have wowed quite a few of my family members with it.
Third, the home screen. While it's not exactly "better" it is definitely different than the iPhone. And to me different is better and love being able to customize it. The live tiles are great too (assuming of course that the developer actually implemented this feature into their app).
I really don't know if the iPhone can do this, but being able to reply to an incoming message from the action center or the notification is really nice to have. Also, this irritates me about my iPhone - I can't share a picture through Bluetooth. The 950XL can (or any windows phone with Bluetooth).
One caveat to all of this. You have to be willing to fully switch to Microsoft services. If you don't or are not willing to, then you will most definitely hate the experience. I really think this needs to be a waiver that people need to sign before purchasing a Windows phone, something like "I promise not to whine or complain if I choose not to use Microsoft's services".
So in conclusion, there are some nice benefits to the 950XL. It can be rough, especially if you are used to having any app that you want (really everything is there except for SnapChat and banking apps) or if you are unwilling to move to using Microsoft only services.
I hope this helps
, also if you can, go to a Microsoft store and try it out before you buy it.
