A non iPhone similar to an iPhone! Is there one?

Hi,
A strange question I know, but I am very comfortable using an iPad and iPod I really don't want to spend £600 buying an Apple phone if there is an alternative android version selling at a less over inflated price.
A while ago I bought a huawei y330 but I find it fiddly and non user friendly and frankly have given up on it.
I don't need anything too sophisticated - just a phone I can use for calls and Internet while out and about.
Therefore is there one that has a simple operating system not unlike the iPhone?
Thank you.

No, not really.

You don't have to spend £600 on an iPhone. There are lots of places where you can get a slightly older model for a lot less.

Samsung's touch wiz is pretty easy to use. Take a look at the J5 or the Core Prime and expect to pay from £100 to £150.

I fiend of mine has the J5 and it's a nice phone. The 'Easy' interface is OK for everyday tasks, but when you want to change settings yore back into plain old Android.

If the OP already has an iPad, the getting an iPhone would be much more convenient, allowing for iMessage from the iPad for example.

Do you mean is there another cheap phone running the same operating system as iPhone? No sadly not.

If you want to use iOS you have to buy an iPhone.

You could buy an iPhone SE for £359. Same internals as the 6s but in the body of a 5s.

Or you could look for a second hand iPhone 5s. Tesco have them on contract for about £15 a month. Obviously depending on your usage.
