New phone soon, suggestions? Page: 1

apple have screwed up the music app.

Unless youre online it's now rubbish. Buttons don't work unless you've subscribed and if you're somewhere with no wifi and not a strong signal (the times you usually need your music more than ever) most features don't work and buttons have been replaced with said features so it's actually made it have less functions.

With that in mind. I'm due a new phone soon. And wondered if anything else has actually ended up as intuitive and useful as the iPhone.

I would stick to 8.3 or whatever it is that doesn't have the upgraded music app mate. It kills it unless you're always with wifi/4g. And even then it's not worth the money. And if you don't subscribe nearly every button you click says sorry only available if you subscribe.

Next / previous song buttons have been replaced with other things like like button and whatnot. So I'm yet to find a way to skip a track without tapping power button then scrolling up the small notification panel. But you don't know the name of the song etc

Anyway. I'd wand a mint battery life, awesome camera, wireless charging maybe, NFC, and then everything else is an app ain't it so it's the same on all phones I guess.

Looks like it'll be an android although I do prefer IOS. But needs must.

Must admit I've yet to really look into the new music thing, I just play my existing stuff I've put on.
Don't think I can justify money for the music unless I got family sharing subscription.
But why should I pay for everyone's music! Haha
Daughters 21 she can pay for her own haha

I'll never go back to Iphone, I made the switch to Android ( Samsung ) years ago, best move ever 🙂

Talking about phone irritations! 😀
I love the fingerprint option with iPhone, u can open ur phone, sign in to iTunes, buy stuff on Amazon and now of course use Apple IPay! Wicked!
However!!! With this bloody job we do my thumbprint on both hands changes a little every 3-4 days. Splits, heals, gets cut or whatever, so I have to reset the fingerprint every few days!
Now that's annoying!!!! Hahahaha

I only play my music. But that's what I'm saying. It renders that useless.
