I used to be a die-hard tinkering Android user before work made me switch to iPhone (it was free! and the latest!).
It took me a few months to get over the grumbling, and while there are still a couple of sore points, overall I’m happier.
The iPhone is a more seamlessly functional device for me. It doesn’t have general-purpose NFC, but in exchange Apple Pay has become a “just works” feature that’s way better than the terrible experience of Chip-and-Pin (and I’m saying this as an ex-European, which has had chip-and-pin for decades. The US sucks there). The camera is awesome: immediately ready and high quality (Nexus 6 users know what I mean). The software library is great and high-quality (it helps that I don’t mind paying for apps)…
Like Rob, I’ve evolved from “tinker all my tools” to “my tools need to just work & I’ll tinker on nonessential stuff”.
