    So far my only complaints with the operating system switch are minor.

What would those be? How different is performance between the two devices?

It probably isn't fair to compare performance. My old phone was released in 2012 while this one was released last month. The S8 is naturally much faster.

One little thing is Android uses a global back button. In Chrome on my iPhone, I could sweep to go back. Here, it's only the button. To go forward a page I have to use a menu.

When I mistype "yo," it doesn't autocorrect to "to."

There are probably some others, but they're really minor. I wouldn't steer someone away from Apple, but I also wouldn't steer them away from Android. My Apple complaints aren't that they've gotten worse, it's that flagship Android phones seem to have caught up and passed them in some ways.

Price is where Android rules. $200 can get you a lot of phone, at least as much phone as I need or want.
