7 Things Android Switchers Miss About Their iPhone 3 By Mike Peterson I t's easy to think of iOS users and Android users as two distinct camps who never meet. But the truth is that many people switch from one operating system to the other.

The "Scrolling Experience" Talk to an Android user who switched from Android and you may find that they miss an unlikely feature from iOS: the overall scrolling experience. We're not just talking about performance and screen refresh rates. Many anecdotal reports indicate that there's just something special about how scrolling on iOS works. One Android user said that the "physics" of scrolling and navigating iOS are a lot nicer than Android. That largely comes down to the attention- to-detail Apple puts into its system — take the individual physics of text bubbles in iMessage, for example.

It's really something that you need to experience firsthand to understand. If you just have an iPhone, it won't make much of a difference. But when you add an iPad, a Mac, an Apple TV or an Apple Watch into the mix, features like Continuity and HomeKit start to become incredibly useful. Apple's products have long been known to "just work" and if you have multiple Apple devices, you'll know exactly what that means.
