What you can do for your ringer volume is decouple from media volume (Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Change With Buttons > off). This prevents them from being changed when you press the volume buttons and keeps them at the volume you set in Settings.
Also regarding alarms, did you set a standard alarm or a wake-up alarm? A wake up alarm is set when you set up a Sleep Schedule and has its own volume controls that are not affected by the one in Settings > Sounds & Haptics. Also if you’re wearing your Watch to bed, it will try to wake you up using your Watch using taps first and then sounds (make sure Silent mode isn’t on in the Watch’s control center)

Trust me iPhones are premium, once you get familiar with the settings you can customize anything to your liking

Is that so? So I can have links open in specified apps rather than having majority open in safari?
the iPhone is great but there are some serious weaknesses in its user experience that just lead me to wonder what they were thinking.

Yes you can have links open in other apps, either other browsers or specific apps (say, a tripit link will open in the tripit app).

That’s not true. I run into the issue all the time. For example if I click a link in the peloton Reddit to a ride it opens up in the browser, and not the Peloton app.
If I click a link to a tweet it opens, at best, to safari which then asks “do I want to open it in my twitter app”. At worst it just opens in safari without giving me an option.
Reddit links work similarly. And there are plenty of other examples. Meanwhile on android you can easily set default apps and to borrow a phrase, it just works.

Sometimes it’ll just redirect me to the App Store for download when the app is already installed.

Didn’t know about the watch piece - thanks!

Watch is clutch for those snooze naps that have you skipping alarms and waking up an hour late. Lol. Watch gently vibrates to wake you up.

OP also has an apple watch which I think can change alarm behavior but I forget how to change it

i use the watch as an alarm almost every day it wakes you up so subtly and gently with just little vibration on the wrist, great stuff and very convenient

I’ve had an iPhone for about 9 years. I had no idea about the ringer/sounds split.
My phone is usually on silent anyway, but will use the setting for sure!!

I love the way my watch wakes me up. On the rare occasion I go to bed and forget my watch on the charger, and waking up to the phone alarm is just horrible in comparison.
