Things I miss coming from s21:

  • real 120hz display. iPhone’s 120hz display is full of shit, a ton of animations run at 90hz and apple not updating them for some reason. Overall, Samsung and other androids 120hz feel significantly smoother
  • mapping custom functions to double pressing the power button. it’s insane how apple only lets you have apple wallet or bullshit accessibility stuff, I loved having my flashlight bound to it
  • notification/control center implementation. Combining controls of your choice with notifications coming out from swipe from any part of top of the screen is just better, and if you are on Home Screen I’d take over spotlight’s gesture for notifications any day. I also hate how in iOS you now have a literal lockscreen coming from the notification swipe, like, I don’t wanna see the giant clock with micro widgets taking half the screen when I’m already logged in. Also the ios 16 “feature” with you having to do an extra swipe to get old notifications is ridiculous
  • usb-c (**** you apple)
  • keyboard number row. I don’t like gboard for iOS, looks ugly and you can’t customize the time it takes for numbers to activate

Things I don’t miss/are overrated about android:

  • split screen. Tiny ass smartphone screens just feel unnatural for it imo
  • theme customization. I gave them a shot, always ended up coming back to stock.

Actual reasons why I switched to iPhone:

  • AirPods
  • mac connectivity goodies
  • car only supports CarPlay
  • iOS aesthetically is better than one ui, one ui’s dark theme looks bad.
  • prefer iOS default apps to Samsung/google (except calculator, iOS calculator is dog****)

As a guy who uses both Samsung S22 Ultra and iPhone 14 pro max, I can assure you that the Samsung definitely doesn’t feel “smoother” lmao. You must be partially blind. iPhone is a smoother experience period.

You and many other people can’t distinguish between refresh rates

I can distinguish enough to where I absolutely refuse to use anything less than 120HZ because of how ugly it looks.

Then not enough to tell 90hz from 120, by calling me partially blind you actually are accusing a ton of people who have been begging apple to fix this to be full of shit

It’s not as seemless but you can make a shortcut to open the calculator of your choice every time you try to use the built in one
