iOS vs Android - let the battle commence!

So....... I don't come here often. But when I do, most know I'm a die hard iOS fanboy.

However, I did something strange yesterday and ordered the OnePlus 3T. From O2 naturally.

Here's the plan. I have 14 days to decide whether to keep the OnePlus 3T or revert back to my trusty iPhone 6s Plus. I am going to turn off my iPhone when I receive the new phone. Save for taking pictures of the new phone.

I'm going to keep a diary on here of my experiences and try to update it everyday.

Is there anything people want to know specifically or things people want me to address during this?

So my decision has been made.....................the OP3T is not for me.

First the good:

Love the design and build of the phone. Considering the price tag, this thing rivals high end phones.
The customisation options on android are really good. You can really make your phone 'your' phone.
There are some really nice touches in android. One of my personal favourites was not having to unlock the phone if certain condition were met (such a small being at home)

Now for the not so good:

As I've said before, in my opinion, the apps don't have the same polish as there iPhone counterparts.
It is not easy to transfer over to android for iOS. I do not like using third party services for tasks such as transferring contacts.

The biggest 'not so goo by far though is the battery drain issue I've mentioned. With 2 jobs, uni and a social life, I just need a phone to work. I don't need to 'edit this, change that, install this' to make a phone work.

Don't mistake me, I really enjoyed using the phone and I no longer think you guys on android are as crazy as you seem............maybe.

And to begin where I started:

Box box box. Box. Box box.

You could go with something that has a changeable battery, like the G4.
I brought a dock charger that came with two spare batteries so I don't have to worry about running out of juice.
