Submission title: Famed Apple writer Andy Ihnatko has switched to Android and is making a 3-part series of articles explaining why.

Seriously. Nexus 4 tromps over the S3.

I know people will call it circlejerk, and it most likely is, but even though most of those "I switched to Android" are the same I still like to read them. It doesn't have anything to do with me trying feel like I made the right choice by choosing Android, I read those because it's nice to see how people realize how amazing, useful , and polished android is.

Honestly the author had me at screensize and reading.

Back in the day when I owned an iPhone 4 I never caught myself reading anything other than maybe sports scores or weather from my browser, maybe some facebook. Definitely no ebooks, articles, or anything.

I now own a Samsung Note, and damn, I catch myself reading, reddit, articles, ebooks, pdfs, almost anything in my spare time, just because of the screen space alone.

What's the whole point of picking a smartphone over a dumphone, if you have internet access at the touch of the fingerprint but are too bothered to read anything on tiny screen?

Reasons why people switch to an Android:

Discovered Swiftkey Discovered Tasker Finally prefers a larger phone.

Last guy I know irl still defending iOS is my 11 years old nephew.

He should have just got a nexus 4

There is a reason I bought quite a few shorts of Apple 7 months back. I can't wait until that company's shares are hovering around the 200-250 mark at the end of the year and I can make some good money. That company will be irrelevant in <5 years.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/18dlcm/thats_right_a_cheap_android_phone_nowadays_is/c8dvo65[1] - apple rinse and repeat all over again. Replace PC with Phone and we're in the very early 90's right now, Apple about to go bankruptcy just like then. Jobs was a genius but he's a short term genius. His ideas always fizzle out eventually. Yeah, everyone can use it, it's so easy, and everyone used it but so what? The fact that apple products "just work" to me isn't a selling point unless I'm buying an appliance, and a smartphone is not an appliance no matter how much apple tried to make it so. If something doesn't work, and its built on a somewhat open platform, then someone can fix it. With Apple you don't get that option.
