A few months ago, I upgraded from the iPhone 6 Plus to the 8 Plus. My 6 Plus had slowed horribly. I came very close to getting a Samsung, but decided to stick with Apple.

Samsung is a better phone - but I still prefer iOS.

FWIW, my daughter has played with both Android and iOS and strongly prefers iOS.
