In light of Apple making some decisions that a few folks out there in the wild probably weren’t all that happy about, I know a few people who had been waiting to see what Apple would unveil and, ultimately, decided to go with something else. Specifically, in one instance, a friend of mine who was waiting to upgrade to the iPhone 7 decided to switch it up quite a bit and go with Samsung’s Galaxy S7 instead.

While the decision started from Apple’s own in-house antics, one of the main reasons they were excited to be back on Android (they went with iOS a few years back, having traditionally been an Android fan) was for the customization options. (And Swype, interestingly enough.

I don’t know what kind of customization they plan on doing on their phone, but obviously it boils down to more than simply changing the wallpaper or rearranging icons. Which is great! One of the strongest elements of Android to this day is its level of customization. More than that, though, I think it’s also the fact that customizing Android is simply just easier than it has ever been before.

This is the part where I say, “Back in my day!” and talk about how long it took sometimes to change the user interface in a way that actually made an impact. Having to root your Android phone, just so you could load HTC’s Sense UI on a Samsung phone, for instance, or whatever other combination you could come up with. The developer community for Android has always been ridiculously strong, with some impressive software to show off, and for anyone that’s interested in that level of alteration and customization, well, the offerings are plenty.

I doubt my friend will be going that far, but, hey, maybe they will.

I used to be someone that would stay up to odd hours of the still-dark morning trying to get software that wasn’t technically supposed to be a phone onto it anyway, so I know where that love for customization is coming from. However, I never really compared it to the iPhone because I knew there were a ton of customization options out there for jailbreaking an iPhone. Not to the same extent as Android, but the results were pretty great, too. And the developer community for iOS has always been strong, too.

My friend calling out customization as a reason why they are so excited to be back on Android, and specifically comparing it to the iPhone, got me wondering, though: How many of you out there started on Android, jumped ship to iOS for some amount of time, but then eventually made your way back to Android because you wanted those customization options back? Or, maybe you just got tired of not being able to customize iOS much at all.

Either way, I want to know if you’ve ever been in the same situation as my friend, and what, specifically, drove you back to Android from iOS. Let me know!
