iPhone or GS8?

[Windows Central Question]

I've been with Windows Phone since the begging but I can't take how buggy WM10 is or the lack of apps. Which OS works best with Microsoft apps, specifically Cortana? Can I have Cortana be the default assistant on either Android or iOS?

First off, it's sad that you want to leave the Windows platform, but to each their own.

Personally, I'd go to Android. It's quite customizable, plenty of Microsoft apps, and I think Cortana can be set as default as opposed to Google Now/Google Assistant/Bixby (For the GS8).

iOS is a bit more uniform throughout and 'just works'. Siri won't let go of that home button shortcut, though.

I second the above post, but I'll add with my own notes that it's about what is most important to you.

It sounds like Cortana is, so go with Android. In my experience, iOS is better with acknowledging Outlook calendar events over Android. Calendars work fine but I have noticed that for birthdays for your contacts, iOS shows them and Android does not unless you manually put the birthday into the phone itself.

It really all depends what you're looking for. iOS is more of a plug and play solution I find in that it just works. Android is highly customizable and provides tons of options to make it fit your needs. I enjoy it as I like to tinker with my phones and change things. However, iOS just works and works well. There's something to be said for that.

Moved to Phone Wars.

Personally, I would recommend a different Android.

Blackberry and Google both have excellent devices in their lineups.

android is very customizable and there are launchers that can replicate somewhat the look and feel of a windows phone.

Actually it is very interesting that will show a new Iphone jubilee. Will they be able to show something innovative, the fact that no Galaxy S8

I'm someone who's awaiting the so called "Surface Phone" myself. However, if you need a phone now, I still think android is the better option for its flexibility. Considering the life cycles for phones tend to be fairly short, and there isn't a comparable device available for Windows, it doesn't make sense to wait until Windows Mobile turns around.

Go with the Galaxy S8+. I own both the Orchid Gray S8+ and the Matte Black iPhone 7 Plus, both delivers exceptional performance but I prefer the beauty and versatility of the S8+. The infinity display captures anyone who is looking at it and the dual pixel camera captures better images than Apple's.
