Yes, if you're using the thing every day, then you may as well get something that's going to give you a bit of pleasure, even if it costs a bit more. Every time I say the S8 I lust after that delicious curvy screen. maybe I'll give in soon and get one off eBay now that some come up for around £400. There's no way I'd spend anywhere near a grand on a phone though. I'd be worried about scratching/dropping it the whole time.
My lad's got an S8 and whilst it looks nice and performs well, it doesn't have the quality feel of my i7. It feels like the difference between handling a Rolex and a Swatch. As you say, switching from iOS to Android looks like a right pain in the bollocks too.
Switching between the two platforms is a piece of piss these days - Switch to Android - and short of some niche specialist programs, all the big apps are available on both platforms with plenty of as good as/better/slightly worse alternatives.
One specific app I use just isn't on any platform except ios. Even if it was, I wouldn't want to fork out £40 for it again. I'm not prepared to switch to a platform that can't offer me the functionality I use regularly.
An but think of how stylish you'd look when you're fumbling with your £1,000 phone trying to answer a call
