There are a few reasons why I went from Apple to Microsoft mobile, and comically there are a few rasons why I still have an ipad. However, I'll start with the reasons for hopping to Microsoft:
First off, Apple's price tag is overabundantly ridiculous for a device whose updates are extremely minimal. Over the past few years, Apple has gone from innovator to imitator, with moves such as the Watch and the larger body of phone being nothing more than an attempt to match the market rather than lead it. Because of this practice, the last few "innovations" have been lackluster and, in summary, silly. surely, Apple had the whole home sharing card for a while, but they haven't done anything to expand upon it. Microsoft, on the other hand, is very early in its mobility life cycle, but rather than it being a race to catch up, Microsoft seems to be more focused on its own future, with things such as the hololens and Xbox continuity across all devices, This feels like a more natural route to take for someone who wants to access all of their files across all hardware at once.
Now, granted, I will state that I do have an iPad, because of the lack of apps, and because there are apps that I use that are only available on iOs or Droid. Now I understand that there is a project underway that intends on consolidating the different app stores to provide a unified app and program experience, and when that comes to completion, this will likely change. However, we need to get there first.
