[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1943159, member: 204485"] When you say "bloatware" I suppose you are talking about apps you neither want nor need pre installed on your phone. I know from personal experience a Samsung Galaxy comes with a suite of Samsung apps like a photo library, notes, contacts ect as well as some Google stuff and the Play Store so you can get more. Both Google and Samsung would like you to use their cloud based services so there are apps and reminders for them. With an iPhone you get a suite of native Apple apps all of which you would be familiar with from your Mini and MBA. As with Microsoft, Google and Samsung they all expect you to have or register for an ID which as you have Apple computers I assume you'll already have. The beauty of the so called "Apple Walled Garden" is that once all your devices are signed into the same Apple ID on iCloud everything you select is synced across all your devices, eg. add a contact on your iPhone and it's added on all your devices ect. Personally I always leave all the native apps installed but whether you choose to use them or not is up to you. As mentioned in this thread they dont take up much space. These days you can choose your own default web browser, email client, word processor and others. For me the simplicity and integration of all my Apple products is the pleasure I take in little things like getting up in the morning, putting on my Apple Watch, glancing at my iPhone which unlocks it which in turn then unlocks my watch, when I sit down at my Mac my watch unlocks my Mac. A quick look at the Dock shows an icon for my third party browser (thanks to Hand Off), clicking on that launches the browser on my Mac at the page for this forum so I can continue this reply which I started on my iPhone. Obviously this takes a little setting up but you would be familiar with all that because iPhone's and Mac's menus are more and more alike these days. So having tried a windows phone, various Android phones over the years the iPhone is still my favourite for quality, reliability and all round performance. [/QUOTE]
