I've been an Android user forever. Also have iPhone 13 pro for work. I want to love iPhones but there are a few things that just kill me. The alarm feature you mentioned is one. Also, no good number pad. I HATE using the number row. It's a pain in the ass. There are a few other things that are escaping me right now. I love the buttery smooth display scrolling on my iPhone though. I'm considering getting one to replace my pixel 5 but I just can't pull the trigger. Oh also the 13 pro is so fucking heavy compared to my pixel 5. I love my pixel but I have a free $500 towards an apple product...

There’s a 50g difference.

If you want to be a douche about it there's a 52g difference which makes the iPhone nearly 35% heavier, which is significant. Math must not be your strong suit.

You are 100% right. Way lighter and a bigger battery. I made the same switch and regret it. I do like the telephoto lens on the 13 pro but not enough to justify all the cons to that phone. And the photo quality on the pixel 5 is undoubtedly superior.

Get an android phone with a 120hz screen and it will feel as smooth as the iPhone generally. iPhone is hard to beat for smoothness though.

I disagree. I have a Pixel 6 Pro which has a 120hz display, and while scrolling through websites might be comparable, iOS animations make ProMotion so much better. Honestly when I checked out the 14 Pro in an Apple Store I couldn't believe both it and my phone were running at the same refresh rate. ProMotion is unbelievably good.

Yea that’s what I was trying to say basically. iOS is still more fluid in general than android, but the difference is pretty small when you have two high refresh rate phones to compare. I have a Pixel 7 (non pro) which has a 90hz display, a Galaxy S22 which has 120hz, an iPhone 14 pro with 120hz and an iPhone 12 with 60hz; and the difference between the first three with 90-120hz screens is really small honestly, but the 60hz on my iPhone 12 feels like the stone ages comparatively. I think if Apple just upped the standard iPhones to 90hz no one would really be able to tell the difference between the standard and pro models in terms of software experience.

i kinda disagree with this. i own a pixel 7 pro and a 14 PM, i can safely say that the 120 hz display on the pixel actually hits 120 hz way more than the iphone does.

Refresh rate is not the only thing for smoothness. All androids are janky outside the OS like twitter. Insta. Any app really. The scrolling is always a little more janky. Animations are another factor. All these are smoother on iOS. So when you do animations and scrolling for basically 99% of your time in a phone. You notice it. At least. I know I do. Every time I go back to an iPhones after some days using android it feels like you’re going from 60hz to 120hz

True iOS does have the edge, but it has gotten much closer than it used to be is more what I’m saying, and I think 120hz refresh rates on both iOS and android have significantly improved the feel of using your phone day to day.
