However, while the iPhone is impressive both technologically and in its wide appeal, there are plenty of reasons to suggest that right now, it\u2019s finally time to ditch your iPhone this Amazon Prime Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n Shop Android smartphones in the Amazon Prime Day sale<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n First off, Android phone manufacturers are making more of an effort when it comes to sustainable manufacturing, at least in some respects. For years, Apple has insisted on the \u2018lightning port\u2019 rather than joining the pack and using USBC connections for charging \u2014 simply, that lack of common parts means more cables, more adaptors and more waste. While Apple is reportedly testing iPhones with USBC ports, it could be a long time until they appear.<\/p>\n Also, iPhones are near impossible for users to repair themselves, while Google recently announced that spare parts for its Pixel phones (Pixel 2 through to Pixel 6 Pro, at least,) will be made available to buy at iFixit. That\u2019s a huge victory for the Right to Repair movement and potentially for the environment. Longer-lived phones have the potential to cut down on e-waste, which we produce a frankly startling amount of \u2014 around 50 million tonnes annually.<\/p>\n Google said in a statement: \u201cImproving repairability is an important way to help extend the life and usefulness of your phone. And it\u2019s just one of several steps we\u2019re taking to help you make more sustainable choices.<\/p>\n \u201cStarting in 2022, 100% of Google hardware products will include recycled materials with a drive to maximize recycled content wherever possible. Additionally, we\u2019re enabling 100% carbon-neutral shipments of Google hardware products to and from our direct customers, as well as working to achieve Zero Waste to landfill certification in 2022 and plastic-free packaging by 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n Google is revamping its \u2018Switch to Android\u2019 app to make it more functional and accessible.<\/p>\n Previously, the app only worked for users swapping directly from an iPhone to a Google Pixel device. However, now Google is updating the app to be compatible with all Android 12 handsets.<\/p>\n That means that \u2014 if you\u2019re switching from an iPhone to an Android phone \u2014 the app will help you to transfer all those must-have contacts, files and more, making for a smooth change-over. Previously, this was one of the biggest frustrations of swapping from an iPhone.<\/p>\n It\u2019s Amazon Prime Day right now so there are some very, very tempting phone deals out there. However, discounts on iPhones are notoriously rare, so the best deals are all on Android phones.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re coming round to the idea of an Apple-to-Android defection, then some of these deals on top handsets might just tempt you.<\/p>\n Most of the deals might be being dished out as part of Prime Day, but competing retailers have served up some eye-catching offers too. Notably, Currys has knocked \u00a3200 off the price of the Google Pixel 6 Pro, which is a leading Android handset that our experts absolutely loved.<\/p>\n In our full Google Pixel 6 Pro<\/a> review<\/a>, this stand-out handset scored 4.4 stars out of five and was widely praised.
