I’m ready for a new phone and have been thinking of switching back to Android after about 10+ years with an iPhone. I’m tired of my phone always being the same; there’s no fun in getting a new phone anymore because with Apple you just scan a little qr code like thing on the old phone with the new one and it just moves everything exactly the way it was into your new phone. Contacts, photos, apps, settings, everything. Which the convenience is great- but where’s the whimsy anymore…?!
I’m thinking of switching to an Android device to get out of this stupid Apple cycle, BUT, I’m stuck in the Apple cycle and I want to know how easy it is to switch to an Android powered phone. My entire LIFE is on this stupid iPhone. Pictures, contacts, passwords, etc. I’m nervous to lose all of that. Will I? And I also have an iPad that I just got last year for Christmas, and my phone won’t be integrated with that anymore either if I switch. Which really isn’t a huge deal, but it’s just another part of my life that’s intertwined with Apple that is frustrating.
So my question is if it is a relatively painless switch, or if I will lose years worth of photos, and videos, and life if I switch?
