Switch to iPhone?

I have had my Nexus 6 for close to 2 years now and I'm almost due for an upgrade. Thinking about going with an iPhone 7. I have always been hardcore Android but I am sick of the quality of apps. Mainly anything that uses the camera (looking at you Snapchat). I don't know if it's just my phone but anytime I use my camera when the battery is under 30 percent the phone crashes and reboots. Thoughts?

Have you looked at the OnePlus3T? It's basically a phone with iPhone level build quality, 64 GB of base storage for lots of photos, and a 16 MP selfie camera.

The camera quality is fine in the actual camera app but because Snapchat devs seem to hate android they can't code the app to take an actual picture; instead the app just takes a screenshot of the viewfinder. I use snapchat alot and it's one of the main reasons I want to switch. I have used snapchat on an iPhone before and it is worlds better.

Interesting. If you can afford it and don't use 3.5mm headphones, go ahead. A 6S is still viable and you can probably get a decent used one if you want to save money.

If you can, get a Note 7.  It doubles as a breaching charge :)

I switched the iphone 7 from the g4 after being on android since teh g1 and its been a refreshing change of pace. The quality of some apps (at least the ones I use) are much higher on the iphone than they were on android. I'm still not entirely used to being on ios (last iphone was the 3g and messed with the ip5/5s for some time). I would say this. If youre heavily invested in androids ecosystem (like I was 400+ apps) it will be a difficult transtion (miss the super rich notifications and the back button and emulators and a bunch of control within settings). Certain things just function better or make more sense to use on android. For me personally, I had to make a giant list of stuff I used regularly that was missing on ios and have been working around it since. Everything, but app defaults and lack of better dictation and google now i've adapted to.

I have the nexus 6p, I'm going for the OnePlus 3T, definitely worth the upgrade. Iphones aren't really worth it to me, especially since they removed the headphone jack. Removing the jack is no way in moving forward, just being lazy.
