It must be experimentation season for us phone fanatics, because while I've traded my iPhone for a Galaxy phone for the month, Android devs Chris Lacy and Francisco Franco have been giving the iPhone 6 a try. The two discussed their impressions on the [latest episode](http://theblerg.net/podcast/12?ref=birchtree.me) of Lacy's excellent podcast, The Blerg. Even if you don't like Android, you should still [subscribe anyway](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blerg/id1002289023?mt=2&ref=birchtree.me).

I found the conversation in this episode to be particularly interesting. It's a very level-headed discussion of the pros and cons of both platforms and the hardware they each run on. Although I think Chris gets a little off base with his suggestion that UI innovations like Google Inbox's swipe to archive/schedule messages couldn't happen on iOS ([Mailbox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailbox%5F%28application?ref=birchtree.me)) for iOS debuted these features over a year before Inbox was a thing), the episode is definitely worth your time. I especially love that they don't do the typical Android fan thing of saying "iOS is good if you want something simple, but Android is an OS for power users," a statement that has really never been true.
