I switched from s21 to 14 pro and also noticed how much more hot it gets, from fast charging or intensive apps, however, it’s only annoying without the case, with a silicone case it feels fine, so not sure why you experiencing issues

Already replied to another guy suggesting back tap, I used it for 2 days and rage-disabled it after experiencing that it’s dogshit and works like every third time, it’s also prone to accidental activation

Well, sorry mate, you’re just gonna have to trust my “eye” then. If you actually followed my tests and still can’t see it, then you just can’t see it. From my online observations there are plenty of people who can see it and are disappointed, but there are also plenty of people who can’t see it just Iike you.

You have no idea how much of a serious issue this is, this is a universe away from being nit picky, you just can’t see it, not everyone can. Also, “this isn’t science” is a crappy argument in this case, science doesn’t just magically contradict observation. The only thing that’s not science here is your 99% number. There are people claiming iOS default scroll currently tops off at 80hz max since Xcode has 1, 10, 60, 80, 120hz as defined accessible options for iPhone animations, and apple chose 80 for default scroll api on iPhone. Contrast this to an iPad pro, which only has 10, 60, 120, so apple just gives 120. So far this reasoning is the most likely theory, the only reason why I’m using the word theory is because I’m not an iOS dev and I can’t confirm these findings myself

I tried gboard and couple others, their aestetics suck compared to default iOS keyboard, also I dislike how I can’t reduce the activation time for number row

Blaming it on “my” eye is just a cope argument. We will never know the true statistic but I would argue it’s not 99%, and the percent would be even lower if people we let to experience what it should actually feel like. There are various videos online with people using external cameras to compare hz on iphone vs android, one of them even has an approximate calculated value of a scroll of 80hz. And most importantly, a ton of people keep repeating the words “it feels like a 80-90hz screen” over and over

People who use high refresh a lot develop an eye for it, refresh rate is directly correlated with the perception of smoothness, you can tell when the animation feels half way between classic age old 60hz iPhone and what a true 120hz should feel, that’s where the number 80-90hz comes from. These findings are confirmed by a ton of other people mentioning 80-90hz since that’s what it feels like to people who can actually tell. Apparently, many people can’t tell the difference and that’s primarily what lets apple get away with it

“Something so simple should be possible” is the general state of mind when u swap android to iphone

I tried double/triple back tap and rage-turned it off after a couple of days due to how it works like every third time, it astonishes me how you can’t map triple power button click to it instead

The scroll is primarily the issue here, almost all other animations are solid smoothness. General scroll in every first party app, such as settings, iMessage, photos, mail, safari, etc jumps to about 80-90hz. Pretty much all 3rd party apps that use the same default scroll api also don’t reach 120hz. Lastly, switching between home screen pages isn’t 120hz. Here are some apps that do, somehow, use 120hz scroll: telegram, Amazon, chrome. If you wanna see comparison to how it should be in 1st party apps, turn on screen recording and try scrolling while the screen is being recorded, that forces 120hz everywhere. See if you can spot a difference. Also, without turning on screen recording, see if you can spot a difference scrolling through a google search in safari vs chrome

I went from s21 to 14 pro, here are some issues i’ve experienced: 1)many animations on iOS aren’t configured for 120hz and run at about 90hz, which makes smoothness worse compared to android’s 120hz. 2)I prefer Samsungs/androids implementation of notification+control center 3) can’t map flashlight to double/triple clicking power button(I know many people love to bind camera to it as well). 4) no longpress number row in default keyboard

Wonder if these things are also part of your experience, don’t view me as a hater tho, there are reasons why I switched and they satisfy me, but I would give a lot to get features that I mentioned, especially given how easy they are to implement from the coding standpoint

Smartest Reddit user

Then not enough to tell 90hz from 120, by calling me partially blind you actually are accusing a ton of people who have been begging apple to fix this to be full of shit

You and many other people can’t distinguish between refresh rates

Things I miss coming from s21:

• real 120hz display. iPhone’s 120hz display is full of shit, a ton of animations run at 90hz and apple not updating them for some reason. Overall, Samsung and other androids 120hz feel significantly smoother
• mapping custom functions to double pressing the power button. it’s insane how apple only lets you have apple wallet or bullshit accessibility stuff, I loved having my flashlight bound to it
• notification/control center implementation. Combining controls of your choice with notifications coming out from swipe from any part of top of the screen is just better, and if you are on Home Screen I’d take over spotlight’s gesture for notifications any day. I also hate how in iOS you now have a literal lockscreen coming from the notification swipe, like, I don’t wanna see the giant clock with micro widgets taking half the screen when I’m already logged in. Also the ios 16 “feature” with you having to do an extra swipe to get old notifications is ridiculous
• usb-c (**** you apple)
• keyboard number row. I don’t like gboard for iOS, looks ugly and you can’t customize the time it takes for numbers to activate

Things I don’t miss/are overrated about android:

• split screen. Tiny ass smartphone screens just feel unnatural for it imo
• theme customization. I gave them a shot, always ended up coming back to stock.

Actual reasons why I switched to iPhone:

• AirPods
• mac connectivity goodies
• car only supports CarPlay
• iOS aesthetically is better than one ui, one ui’s dark theme looks bad.
• prefer iOS default apps to Samsung/google (except calculator, iOS calculator is dog****)

I install a good screen protector and a case the second I take the phone out of the box. Never bought apple care before and never regretted, my phones have been pristine for their entire lifetimes. Also, If you are concerned about money, then perhaps you shouldn’t have bought an apple leather case, Amazon 25 dollar silicone cases hold up their looks far better than leather

Calzy as a permanent replacement for the default calculator
