> Apple focus on privacy, along with granular app notification and data restrictions are marvellous, as is the way apps request permissions, and it just works.
This is one of the reasons I also ditched Android for an iPhone.
I had an HTC Hero, an HTC Desire and a Galaxy Nexus before I jumped to the iPhone. I forked out more than I normally would have for a phone when I bought my Galaxy Nexus under the assumption that it would receive regular OS updates being a Nexus device. Nope; stuck on Android 4.3 and was eventually forced to install a glitchy 4.4 custom ROM. There were never any decent ROMs for later Android versions so I gave up on the whole platform.
