iPhone 7 vs Galaxy S7 (regular)

[jgustin7b]

Pretty straightforward, which phone should I get? For the sake of argument, assume they are same price. Thanks ahead of time.

When it comes to buying phones, your not just purchasing a device, your purchasing a ecosystem. In terms of specs, the S7 has a better screen and battery life, camera is on par with the iphone. S7 has expandable memory and a headphone jack. But it really comes down to the ecosystem.

Ah, good catch with the ecosystem thing. Tbh, I currently have an iPhone se, but most of my stuff is within the drive anyways. Plus, I’ve heard ways to transfer music, videos, etc to google equivalents in some way... is that possible? Replies to the main comment are still ok.

Yes it is possible:

If you want to move to android, the S8 and the Pixel 2 are both great phones.

Well, that looks easy, but just in case, I’d like to see if Apple users have a counter argument. If nothing in 24 hrs, I’ll pick an Android answer.
