Didn't meet anyone from Canada there but is must be the same conference (CS-EDU)?
I guess it must have been.

I like it but I don't understand what the purpose of the giant bezel on the bottom is.

I've been thinking about leaving Apple for awhile now (been eligible to upgrade for a year now), might too deep to get out though
Do it. Android has everything you like about Apple and more.

Didn't they say that about the Note 7 before it started exploding in peoples pockets? Also, hi guys.

I have no idea to be honest, this might be the first time in history I heard about a phone within the first few months of its existence

I usually don't look at phone specs until the price comes out. That helps me decide whether or not to continue looking
At $900 for the cheapest model, I've decided to not continue looking.

iOS 10 is trash, I'll say that much. It looks nice but it's completely changed everything I'd gotten used to about my phone. So pointless.

Stoke me a clipper.
Also Apple 4 Lyfe.Fanboying only makes you a vulnerable and exploitable consumer.
Probably but then I don't have to lean how to make all the settings for Android.
So basically... Android is different and I hate change.
(Plus work pays for my phone so as long as it's not a Blackberry I'm happy)
Sailfish OS is my choice. Nice usability, android apps work as well. Problem is that there are just couple manufacturers who use it at the moment, and the hardware is really lousy. Still better than Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) that was my previous phone.

Haven't updated yet and probably won't, irritating when everything changes every 6 months
.Other than that, my 5s has been a ****in rock for me, I treat it like garbage, especially this past year. Dropped it countless times, charge it all night, and everything still works 100%. Battery life is getting shorter and shorter though, that's the only reason I'm finally debating getting a new phone.

I have to use both iOS and Android daily due to my line of work.
Both are solid pieces of software and the differences between them are overstated. They both have their benefits and drawbacks. Both leave me frustrated at times when trying to solve development issues, both have applications where I greatly prefer one over the other.
Overall though, both operating systems are so highly developed at this point that I don't feel strongly about one over the other. I would advise people to just use the one they prefer. FWIW an iPhone 6 is my daily driver.

It costs like $100 to get a third party guy to replace the battery with a new one...

Yah I've looked into it, but basically decided, if I'm gonna spend $100+ I might as well just go all the way and upgrade.

Exact same situation as you haha I'm convinced my 5S is actually made by Nokia considering the amount I throw it around. I'm gonna rock this baby till it dies though, getting a new phone just for the sake of it is silly.
