As others have said, don’t try and move habits over to the 14, learn new ones. I too moved to the 14PM after a decade on Android and there were things that absolutely infuriated me at first because I was trying to do stuff as if I was still on Android.

Don’t do that.

Can you give an example of what you tried doing, that was possible/easier on Android, than on iOS?

I am also thinking of switching to iOS, have my doubts thou...

One of the big ones I found is customization on the home screen.

Sure, one CAN add items to the Home Screen and organize them in folders but it's a tedious process and you can't sort them alphabetically unless you add them in that order (or maybe you can and I just haven't found a way).

Another example is App Settings. For the majority of apps on iOS, the settings are..well in the settings menu. Seems simple and it is but after years of Android, I'm used to always accessing settings for a specific app through that app itself.

Accessing open apps is different, on the N20U it was a simple button press, on the 14PM it's swiping up about halfway from the bottom of the screen to see your open apps.

I've also heard it's better to not force close your apps when you're done as iOS will handle the management in the background and close when needed, that it actually hurts your performance closing and re-opening them. I can't say how true that is but I've seen it mentioned a few times on here.

Those are just a few of the things I've noticed that requires some adjustment. Here's the thing, if you're still on the fence, go to the Apple store and buy a device. You have a 14 day Return Period (at least you do in Canada, I'm assuming it's the same elsewhere but double check at your own discretion) and just switch your daily driver to the Iphone and give it a test run.

My thought/feeling process basically went like the following when I did make the switch.

Day 1/2: I hate this thing, why did I do it. I'm just going to return it.

Day 3-5: Alright, I'm slowly getting the hang of it.

Day 6-10: I begrudgingly like this thing.

Day 11-14: Nah fuck it, I'm keeping this. I can live with the differences.
