Interesting review, and I know there are is a sizable segment of the population that will go between device platforms based on what's trendy. While I find the S8 very appealing , I iam heavily invested in the iOS platform , and have a lot of content, apps and all of my contacts , etc .. Until there is an easy way to move or use all of that content. I will most likely stay with Apple.
