  1. I changed from Android with the 12 Pro two years ago, and apart from the data copying app on Android being pants, it went ok. I’ve really not noticed a huge difference, apart from sometimes you have to think about how you’re going to get a pic or file off your phone, mainly because I do it really rarely. I can recommend the change though. I’m glad to be rid of Android.

They have iCloud for windows to easily transfer photos to your PC if you want to that way.

Android user for 10 years now on iPhone 14 pro max.

iOS often makes stable android feel like a constant beta, iOS most things are baked into the OS so it’s just smooth. All video apps can Picture in Picture (Disney plus, HBO max etc)

I like the share feature on iOS more.

I pay for the Apple News +. Nothing like it on android that I could find. No news paywalls with news I want to read that Google shoves in my face, and all sorts of magazines come with it.

Do yourself a favor and watch all the stupid little iOS trick YouTube videos. No one tells you to hold the spacebar down to move the courser for editing words or to use your finger to slash the numbers in calculator to delete your last action.

This is a big one, iOS has a lot of little gestures and such that aren’t really documented and which make a huge difference in usability.

Fucking everything

Most android owners talk shit about iPhone because they’re on a fucking two year upgrade plan After that i tend to notice android phones slow down quite drastically

Not been my experience. I have a pixel 3(4 years old) that is still phenomenal. Lg G5(6 years old) that still works great. OG pixel(6 years old) that works great, but mostly use it for the free for life photo storage. I also have the Samsung note 20(2 years old) that is as fast as any iphone. So is my pixel 6(1 year old)

If you don’t notice the frame hangs and stutters that’s cool, but Android animations being faster/fewer frames is not the same thing as the phone being faster.

Longtime Nexus/Pixel user and yea, they’re great as Android goes, but no Android phone is as smooth as iOS.

Yeah and they don’t hold value at all you’ll pay $1k+ for a Samsung ultra or whatever but resell value is trash 🗑️
