Help! iPhone or 6P? I can't decide

binhnguyenmoz

Here's the deal. I am looking for a new phone and I know that it will either be a 16GB iPhone 6s or a 32GB Nexus 6P.

The reason to get an iPhone is because I have a rMBP and the two products are a great pair for obvious reasons. I also think that apps get updates faster and some developers tend to release apps on iOS first. Another reason to get the iPhone is because almost everyone I know has one.

The 6P is another option because I am currently using an HTC One M7, therefore I lean more towards Android than iOS. The hardware seems great and the phone is at a great price (32GB is enough for me, but 16GB won't be).

Both have exciting new features (3D Touch and Now on Tap), both get updates on time, have great cameras, and have premium build quality.

So, it is really tough for me to choose which phone is the one to buy. Does anyone else feel like having too many good phones is making life a bit harder?

Well if 16GB is too small for you and 32GB is plenty (as you state) then surely the iPhone is ruled out as it doesn't have enough storage. You can't add storage to either phone mentioned so you would have to get one with enough storage space from the start.

No, as for me there would be no contest between these two, I would have the nexus. I like to "play" with my phones too much to go with an iphone.

I'm the biggest apple fan and I still agree with the above.

Surely if 16gb won't be enough and you can't expand it then the iPhone is ruled out before you even start.


16gb really is pitiful these days. Especially when you can't expand it.

I have a nexus 5 and an Iphone 6. I barely use the Nexus, years ago I was a "tinkerer" cyanogen, flashing etc - but nowadays I prefer the simplicity/stability of the iphone as my regular phone and the nexus is more a toy computer.

64gb minimum imho - 16gb is just not enough.

Ive been unhappy with the Nexus line for a while - will be buying the gf a 64gb samsung s6 for her birthday.

especially when iOS takes up most of the space...

ncmurray

I agree that 16gb is just not big enough...

Apart from that, I would just go with the operating system that you like best. Personally, I love the simplicity of IOS, and never got along with Android... but, thats just a personal opinion.

Most 16gb iPhones have around 12gb usable space. So iOS takes up around 3.5-4gb. That's not unreasonable. And no more or less than android OS takes up.


What's unreasonable is having a 16gb phone you can't expand the memory off in any way. On a device that had 4k video.


And as I said, I'm a massive fan of iPhones. But 32gb really should have been the base model.
