Bill Gates switches to Android phone
Before I joined Apple I was at Microsoft and I did use a Windows Phone. It was a Lumia 1520.<p>And honestly the OS was rock solid and worked great (unlike my experience with the Lenovo Windows work laptop I was given which would keep blue-screening after going into hibernate for more than 5 minutes. I ended up switching to a SurfaceBook once that was available and it worked perfectly. Amazing laptop. Like a MacBook Pro. Except without Bash which sucked so you had to learn PowerShell to script things (well until recently now I think there’s Bash on Windows using some kind of emulation trick I guess))<p>Windows Phone was a solid system with a decent easy to use UI it is kind of a pity it didn’t take off.<p>But because the app ecoosysem was so poor after about 6 months I switched to a Samsung Android phone (there was no Google Pixel at the time), which had worse battery life but it performed fine.<p>I use an iPhone now and the biggest thing I miss is the lack of certain categories of apps that I could find on Android or Windows that I couldn’t find in the iOS App Store.<p>And the feature set of iOS usually lags behind Android but after using it for over a year now it’s really not that bad and I really like the cross-OS integration features with macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.<p>Universal copy paste is a killer feature imo.<p>To be honest I’m happy with both Android and iOS. They both have the same set of popular third party US apps in their App Stores.
