Why It’s Time to Switch from Apple to Android Devices

For years, Apple’s iPhones and iPads have been the go-to choice for many small businesses. They’re reliable, easy to use, and integrate well across the Apple ecosystem. However, more small businesses – just like yours – are starting to look again at Android devices and the Google ecosystem. There are now some very real reasons why Android makes sense for SMBs. Cost Savings One of the biggest drivers for switching is cost. Apple devices tend to be priced at a premium, even for older models. Android, on the other hand, offers a wide range of price points without necessarily sacrificing performance. A business can outfit a team with capable Android phones at a fraction of the cost of comparable iPhones.  More Hardware Flexibility and Choices With iOS, you’re locked into Apple’s hardware lineup. Android, by contrast, offers real choice. Need a rugged phone for fieldwork? Samsung and Kyocera make them. Need stylus input for signing documents or sketching designs? The Galaxy S series or even budget Note-style phones offer that. Want foldable screens for mobile productivity? Android has those too. That flexibility allows businesses to match devices more closely with the specific needs of their roles or industries. Integration with Google Services While Apple’s ecosystem is polished, Google’s suite of productivity tools, such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Docs, is what many businesses already use. Android devices tend to integrate more easily with Google Workspace. This means fewer compatibility hiccups and a more intuitive workflow. Plus, Android makes file sharing, remote access, and account switching simpler for businesses running multiple user profiles. Customization and Control Android gives small businesses more control over how devices are used. Whether it’s setting up custom launchers for specific work apps, restricting certain functions, or using mobile device management (MDM) tools, Android offers more freedom. For small businesses with in-house tech support, or just a savvy team member, that flexibility can mean better device control without relying entirely on Apple’s usage policies. Faster Innovation In 2025, Android has become the leader in on-device AI tools. Devices like the Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25 come with built-in assistants that summarize meetings, translate conversations in real time, and auto-organize business files. Apple is playing catch-up in this space. For companies interested in automation and boosting productivity, Android’s pace of innovation is appealing. Final Thoughts Apple still makes great products, and for some businesses, they’ll always be the right fit – not least because of familiarity. Nevertheless, for SMBs seeking value, flexibility, and cutting-edge tools, Android is more compelling than ever. It’s no longer a compromise. It’s a strategic move that can actually enhance the way your business operates.

Recap from ConectUS Wireless’ 2025 “Rev-Up Your Revenue” event

On May 20 and 21, 2025, ConectUS Wireless hosted theRev-Up Your Revenue event at Texas Motor Speedway with the help of Team Texas Racing School. This laid the foundation for plenty more events of its kind to come. We kicked off the fun with happy hour and dinner at the Marriott Hotel to give everyone the chance to meet one another and network. On Wednesday morning, attendees arrived at the Lone Star Tower at Texas Motor Speedway and were greeted with a surprise. David Starr and Team Texas arranged for every attendee to be picked up in the ConectUS Stretch NASCAR and be transported to the Media Center for breakfast and breakout meetings. Verizon executives and event sponsors all had the chance to lead speaking engagements about their solutions or different subjects within the technology industry, and after that, attendees ate lunch before heading over to the NASCAR Garage for the Technology Fair and instructions from Team Texas about driving their NASCARs. NASCAR rides and drives along with Stretch NASCAR rides lasted for the next few hours, and every attendee got the chance to ride or drive in a real NASCAR at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour. Everyone had an outstanding time due to the hospitality and seamlessness of Team Texas. However, the drives and rides around the track weren’t even the end of our event. After driving NASCARs all afternoon, our partners ended the evening with dinner catered by Hard Eight BBQ in our penthouse at Lonestar Tower. This gave everyone a few hours at the end of the night to network with Verizon executives and business owners one final time before heading home, and this was the perfect ending to an outstanding two days in Fort Worth. Rev-Up Your Revenue 2025 was a major success, and we can’t wait to host more events like this in the future. Partners from across the country enjoyed the endless networking opportunities, high-speed NASCAR thrills, and great company, and the results of this event for our partners have been overwhelmingly positive due to the connections they were able to build.

ConectUS and CPNzone – Rootmetrics Results

Verizon Wins the 5G Prize with Inclusion of Rural Coverage. Hey everyone! Please pay special attention to the latest 5G tests conducted by RootMetrics, covering an incredible 245,000 miles and 6,653 indoor locations across the US. These tests differ significantly from the nearly 2.3 million tests performed in 125 of the most populated metropolitan markets in the second half of last year, due to the inclusion of rural areas. This change has impacted the results and the overall 5G award winners. Verizon has emerged with two gold medals, T-Mobile with one, and AT&T with none. RootMetrics analysts now view Verizon as the new US 5G champion. This shift adds to T-Mobile’s challenges, as they now need to reclaim their “best 5G experience” title from Verizon. Under the old methodology, the playing field was unfairly tilted towards T-Mobile. Plus, do you remember that Verizon voluntarily agreed to delay 5G rollouts to allow airlines to retrofit their older aircraft altimeters? However, Verizon now leads in 5G speed, while T-Mobile retains the 5G availability title. Verizon is the new US 5G champion, T-Mobile is second, and AT&T is last. Verizon also won its seventh straight “Most Reliable 5G” award from RootMetrics. This award highlights Verizon’s consistent performance across the board, reaffirming its leadership in 5G reliability. The 5G reliability prize remains with Verizon, highlighting AT&T’s struggle to compete in all 5G aspects, both urban and rural. Verizon’s 5G speed victory isn’t due to recent technological advancements or expansions. Similarly, T-Mobile’s loss isn’t due to any specific missteps. Instead, as 5G networks become ubiquitous, Verizon’s rural advantage has offset T-Mobile’s previous urban speed advantage. #weloveverizon #likeconectus #verizon #5G #agentprogram #sellverizon #verizonpartnernetwork #5gbi #fwa #salestraining #businessinternet #conectusracing #cpnzone #teamtexas #corporateevent #letsgoracing #racingschool #NASCAR #RaceTrackTraining #TXRacingSchool #DFWRacing #yearoftheagent
