I am going to build a hybrid app for Duplicity, the new server, that
runs on Android, iOS, web and Windows. I have a long history of taking
a long time to do things, however. In the interim, the Duplicity
Android App (already in beta) is autogenerated from the server API
specs and there's a couple websites.
I have an iPhone 6+ and a Droid Turbo 2 with Marshmallow. My personal
opinion is that the iPhone offers absolutely no justification for its
price point. Android Phones offer a lot more choices and Apple offers
no technological or design edge over Android. If anything, Apple is
saddled with maintaining continuity with its legacy while Google has
been free to innovate, build on Apple's successes and learn from its
failures. If anything, I'd fault Google for trending development to
become too much like Apple in ways that I don't like.
I'm constantly being "bitten" by hidden features on iOS. Like I'll
connect to someone's hotspot with my Mac and forget all about it
later. Then, I'll be playing a game on my phone and my Internet will
crap out. When I look into it, I find out that the Mac had shared the
hotspot password with my iPhone and the iPhone had connected to the
hotspot without asking me, thereby dropping its individual connection
to the Internet in favor of one shared with the entirety of my
bandwidth gulping family. This kind of nannyware eventually sends me
to Google for research on how to disable the crap, because it is so
very annoying. *Every* cute little thing they've dreamed up in
Cupertino has the same potential to do favors you did not ask for
without asking your permission to do them then hide the capability to
disable the annoyance and beg you repeatedly not to continue once
you've found the instructions on how to get rid of it.
And iOS apps are overpriced. Which is, of course, why I'm even
developing for that market, but not a positive feature for you.
