Thing with iPhones is, you know if you're affected or not. I've recently returned to Android and I have no clue if my Poco is affected or not. And knowing Xiaomi, it's either not affected because it's so modified or it is affected and won't be fixed even months after Google fixes it in AOSP repository.

Just out of curiosity if anything has improved. It mostly hasn't. Have plans to buy Galaxy S23 if it'll be any good, but couldn't wait for that long.

Why is Apple so good?

I'm saying this as someone who thoroughly enjoyed the iPhone 3, 3g, and iPhone 4.

What software is better on it?

And wym implementation

The only time I've delat with Apple support, it's been the phone(battery )breaking and them telling me to buy a new device lol. Fortunately they got sued for It I think

It's nitpicky but for the sake of accuracy it should be said that Google's Pixel phones have held the crown of best camera processing software for some time now.

With Apple's new(ish) custom silicon I'd agree that their implementation of certain features is still top notch, but they'll have to work to keep that lead.

Completely disagree on software.

Speaking as someone who owns an Android phone (Pixel), an iPad, a Windows PC, a macbook pro, and uses Linux for work, so I use a bit of everything.

They get a lot of low-level software stuff right, certainly, especially for a company that's making a lot of bespoke proprietary hardware. But their frontend and first party stuff is... not great.

iOS's notification system is still leagues behind Android, and I find the less I use Apple's first party software on macOS the better. "Ecosystem integrations" like sidecar are so unreliable that I've given up trying to use them, Stage Manager are really half-baked (iOS) or seem to duplicate existing features (macOS), etc. Settings and breadcrumbs on iOS are still a headache. iTunes is somehow still one of the worst interfaces I've ever used, people just don't notice as much because it's rarely needed anymore. Finder is still my least favorite default file manager across any desktop OS. Files on iOS only recently became what I'd consider non-alpha quality.

Main reason I have the macbook pro (M1) and iPad is the hardware. Apple's made some flubs on hardware too of course (most of the MBPs from 2016 up until the new M1's for example), but a lot of their more recent stuff is very solid on that front.

The software is better because its much more optimized. Iphones have longer battery life than androids while having a smaller batter. How? Software. This is just an example.

Test it?

Turns out I'd need another SIM to test it and I don't have one. Annoying.
