| Posted: 09 May 2022 03:21 AM PDT (disclaimer: this may be a bit long, but it explains my overall journey from Android to iPhone)As the title says, until 2 months ago, I was an Android user. I used Android since 2012 and throughout the years I was one of those people who thought Apple products are overpriced fancy looking devices which are outdated before they're even released and that the people using them just want to be seen as rich and trendy. I liked my Android freedom. I liked to tinker. To customize. I liked to have new tech that Apple fanboys couldn't even dream of having in their iPhones. Whenever there was a conversation about phones, I would talk about how much better Android is, especially the flagship models, compared to iPhones. And this might have been true to a degree, but I still didn't understand why so many people choose Apple over Android.But there was one Apple device that would soon change that for me. And it's not my iPhone 13 Pro. It's my 11" M1 iPad Pro.I wanted an iPad Pro for a while, mostly so I can have a mobile drawing tablet, and after researching a lot, going back and forth with deciding if I should stick with Android and go with the Samsung Tab 7 or to just go with what has been said to be the best drawing tablet out there... I pulled the trigger and went with the iPad. And well... my mind was blown. I picked up on the gestures really fast and started loving the overall performance of the device. I was beginning to be infected with the Apple bug and wanted to see what it would be like to have an iPhone. To finally see what the big deal is with a device that is so far behind the Android competition, yet so loved. I don't change phones usually just like that. In fact, I was looking at buying a new phone ever since I got really disappointed in my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (Exynos). Samsung's lack of choice here in Europe when it comes to the chip is what ultimately made me start seriously thinking about getting an iPhone. My phone was overheating regularly last summer and I was dreading its performance this coming summer when I was planning to do some travelling and would often be out and about in the summer heat. So, here I was, infected with the Apple bug, looking at the iPhone 13 reviews. In the end I decided on the 13 Pro due to it's cameras mostly (for all those photos and videos of my travels). I didn't want the Max because it's too big for my hands. I had issues with larger phones before where it would get uncomfortable trying to get to every corner of the screen with one hand, and I wanted a device that's easy to use. My first thought after getting my phone? This thing is premium AF. It's really a mix of tech and jewellery. It explained why people like to show it off. My second thought... this thing is so smooth.With an Android, even with a flagship, it takes some time for the device to load everything once you turn it on. The iPhone 13 Pro loads everything much faster, and there is no lag during the initial startup (a thing I was accustomed to with Android if I had many apps loading in the background). Oh and the initial setup of the device if you already have another Apple device? That was my first moment of the so called Apple magic. The seamless pairing with my iPad and my iPad's authorization of my iPhone. I knew about the iCloud and I understand how it works. It communicates with the Apple servers and does the authentication through it. But the way it's presented and how well it works... I haven't seen this level of automation yet with an Android or Windows system. I know it's because the Apple ecosystem is fairly closed one and that allows for a much more stable and smooth operation, but I wish there was something like this on the other side as well. Moving mostly everything from my Android device to my iPhone was an ok process. But there were some frustrations. I'm a WhatsApp user and I use it to talk to my girlfriend and friends. I wanted to transfer all of those conversations over. The issue is, there is no in-app way to do so. There is one for transferring from Apple to Android, but not the other way around. So I had to get a third party app that would do it for me. Here is where I was met with the first negative part of my Apple experience. There are no free apps that do that (that I could find that did the job well). So I had to pay a monthly subscription for a one-time use of an app. And I had to use my laptop to manage the transfer. It was not ideal. But once that was done, the rest of the data transfer was fairly smooth. So, after that was done, I started exploring the device. I learned gesture controls while using my iPad, so I got used to that and I knew how to work my way around the device. And in general, it seemed familiar to my iPad. There were just some minor differences. The notch. I thought it would bug me a lot, but I soon started ignoring it and didn't even notice it's there unless I was watching a video where it would poke just a bit into the video, or if I was playing a game and it would very much be there. But every other time, it would just sit there, nestled between the clock and the battery icon, minding its own business, while my real focus was centered on the content underneath it.Texting and typing in general is a bit different on the iPhone when compared to an Android device. They keyboard is fairly limited, there is no number row on the top on the default iOS keyboard, and if I would like to use a period or comma symbol, I have to go to the symbols section of the keyboard, instead of it being easily available to me on the main keyboard. I did later learn that I can just swipe from the symbols key to those, but it's a bit of an annoyance and needs some time for the muscle memory to learn that.Limited customization is real. I say limited because Apple does allow for some customization, but it's not user friendly at all. I know that before iOS 14, there was no way to customize icons or color schemes, so I'm glad that it's an option now. But... it is still really limited and clunky. I tried to customize my home screen, but I really didn't like Apple's Shortcuts workaround for icon changes. Every time I would try to open an app, it would first open Safari, and then would switch to the app itself. It was really jarring and would take me out of the experience like it's constantly reminding me that this is not exactly how Apple wants me to use my device.And when it comes to searching for apps for customization, almost everything costs money in the app store. As I learned with my WhatsApp transfer ordeal, most apps that would be free on the Google app store, cost money on the Apple app store. The same thing happened here. If I wanted to download a theme, I had to buy a subscription for an app that provides that. Unless I wanted to go create everything in the Shortcuts app, but as much as I like to tinker, I just wanted an easy solution.When comparing it to Samsung's theme store, Samsung is way ahead of Apple there. I hope Apple will do better one day. But, there are some neat features when it comes to customization that I really like with iPhone and I wish Android could learn from. Mainly, profiles. I immediately fell in love with them and use them daily. I have my work profile which activates at the start of my work day and de-activates at the end of my work day. When I connect a game controller to my iPhone, my gaming profile activates. When it's time for bed, my night time profile activates. All of them have custom home screens with apps that are fitting for the profile in use. My work profile has my work apps, my gaming one has my games, and so on. It's really neat.Widgets are nice, but nothing to write home about, as Android has them done in a much better way. I do like how you can stack widgets though.I don't mind the Settings page that much, even though I know it hasn't changed since forever. Even on Android, I used the search bar to find the setting I was looking for, I almost never scroll through it to find something. But that's just my particular use case.And speaking of search bars, the overall search function that iOS has is so good, as I can search for anything by just pulling down a bit on the home screen and it searches not only through my device, but also online. So I have no need for a dedicated search like on Android where I would have to have the Google search widget through which I would search for stuff online, and if I wanted to search for something on my device, I would have to go to the app menu to do so. Apple's solution is so much better and it's fully integrated.The app menu though... I do have some issues with it, as it groups apps on its own and I can't sort them alphabetically. And the grouping is sometimes a hit or miss. For instance, it sometimes can't differentiate between two food delivery apps, and puts one in the "Food and Delivery" group, while the other ends up in "Other" group. I wish we could customize that at least and change where the app should go, if we can't have alphabetical sorting. But now comes the most important focus for me. The performance. As I mentioned before, my Samsung device was overheating and it would throttle the performance like crazy. This would happen while using my phone for navigation, gaming, and sometimes (depending on the ambient temperature) even just browsing. I like to use my phone as a pocket computer, which means I use it for almost anything when I'm out and about, and I tend to use it heavily. I want to be able run the most resource demanding apps, pair it with accessories, even use it as a small computer by pairing a mouse and a keyboard to it.And I'm happy to say that the iPhone 13 Pro is a great device for such use. It handled anything I threw at it, while my Android device would sometimes struggle. Not to mention, the camera system is really good and snappy. I can literally just point my phone at what I'm trying to capture and in less than a second, the photo is already saved. That is something my S20 FE could never do, it always needed a second or two to capture a single image. So when I travelled to London a few weeks ago, I was confident that I can take as many photos and videos as I want and that it will all look great and that my device won't hang up on the camera process or even sometimes not take the photo because the image processing software was acting up. The battery is another important part that I'm really happy with. The phone can last the whole day with fairly heavy use and I almost never had to use my portable battery pack to top it off before the end of the day, even in situations where I would record and take photos for hours. And lastly, gaming. Before I used my S20 FE, I used a Sony Xperia, which had a Snapdragon chip and gaming on it was a good experience, but eventually, the touch inputs on that device started acting up and I learned it was a common defect. I had hoped that using Samsung would be a better experience, but unfortunately, Exynos was a huge letdown and couldn't handle some of the more advanced games I like to play like Genshin Impact or Asphalt 9. With the iPhone, I have no issues there. I can play Genshin for prolonged periods of time with the device barely breaking a sweat, which is really impressive. And I do connect a Razer Kishi controller to it for a Switch like experience, which makes my phone my favourite mobile gaming device. At the end of it all, has my experience been positive since making the switch? Mostly yes. There were some hiccups, for instance my Samsung Buds Pro not having official support on iOS, and I can only use them as normal bluetooth earphones without almost any extra functionality that they come with, but that's mostly on Samsung and their software. But while there were some small growing pains, 2 months in, I'm really happy with the device and my use of it is only getting better. Not to mention that the phone is learning how I use it and slowly adapts to me, which is what a proper smartphone should do.I do wish that Apple would add certain features such as Apple Pencil support to the device. I have it with my iPad, so why can't I use it with my iPhone as well? I also wish the customization would be simpler and that it wouldn't all cost extra money just to apply a skin or to change a ringtone.But in general, yes, I'm happy with my switch, and I plan to expand my Apple ecosystem eventually. I hope this was somewhat insightful for anyone in a similar position and thanks for reading, if you came to the end. Edit:TL;DR After 10 years of Android use I switched to Apple. My journey started with an iPad and then I moved to the iPhone 13 Pro. While there are some caveats and hiccups during the initial setup, my overall experience has been a positive one and as a power user, I'm happy about my purchase, but there are some things I wish Apple would improve upon.

| How Many People Solely Use their iPhone With no computer? Posted: 08 May 2022 04:23 PM PDT What's up my fellow iPhone users. I was just curious after reading an article about former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey only using his iPhone to run his companies how many people are doing this in their daily lives and solely using their iPhone and no computer.

| iPhone 13 pro 256GB faster storage then 128GB? Posted: 09 May 2022 03:01 AM PDT Hi, I just stumpled at the following review: iPhone 13 Pro Max vs 12 Pro Max - Ultimate Comparison! - YouTube And from the 8:12 timestamp he is testing the ssd speeds. I was surprised that the 256GB was much faster then the 128GB. But I cannot confirm this on other review and was wondering if you guys know more about it. [link] [comments] | ||

| What are some complains regarding iPhone or iOS that you won’t find anyone making in real world? Posted: 08 May 2022 03:36 AM PDT I'll start: Notifications on iOS Everyone seems to hate it online but I have yet to meet anyone who hates it, even from people who switched from android.

| Pro phone users what do you find more useful - telephoto or ultra wide? Posted: 08 May 2022 11:06 AM PDT I think non-pro iPhone should have telephoto instead of ultra wide. [link] [comments] | ||
| Are there people who actually can’t see the difference between Pro Motion and the standard? Posted: 06 May 2022 11:08 PM PDT So I was always one to think 60hz was enough and the fancy high refresh displays were unnecessary to everyday use. Heck, I even thought that way for a short time after I got the 13 Pro Max. Loved the display but figured it was just excess and I probably would still be happy if I used only my old XR still. I kept the XR around as my bath/shower device so maybe the regular exposure limited the Pro Motion's impact. But after using the 13 Pro exclusively for the last couple of weeks while travelling I've come home and it's like my eyes are almost agitated while using the XR. I honestly don't think I could keep suing my XR for more then a couple minutes at a time now. Like my entire user experience is in a constant state of strobing. Are there any others in the same boat as me? Or on the flip side, anyone who doesn't really notice how drastic the difference is? [link] [comments] | ||
| What is the worst thing you hate about iPhones? (When comparing to Android) Posted: 06 May 2022 04:32 PM PDT Hey guys, I've been thinking a lot lately switching to an iPhone, the main reason being that I bought a Macbook Air and I think the integration will be amazing but also I wanted to try using an iPhone because I never owned any Apple products before the Macbook that I bought couple of weeks ago, and this would be also my first iPhone. I already looked online about comparisons and why iPhone is good or bad but wanted to get your takes, what does an iPhone do bad or do worst than Android? Or just bad in general (no need to compare)? I saw a few examples such as no fingerprint and the after it detects you face you still have to scroll up. Stuff like this is what I want to now, little picky things. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 06 May 2022 01:56 PM PDT So I just got my first iPhone and the change from an android is pretty drastic. Would like to know any unpopular downsides to using an iPhone so I don't get too shocked when I experience them😅 [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 06 May 2022 04:15 PM PDT Hi everyone! I'm curious to know how you are all enjoying having the latest iPhone! I got mine 2 weeks ago, and I'm so in-love I'll probably keep-it for 5 years! Can you believe how little battery Netflix burns? I am amazed! As a test, I did a Netflix-Binge and used my phone all-day last weekend. Day 1 - My battery went from 100% at 10am to 67% by 10pm. Day 2 - Battery went from 100% at 12pm to 62% by 11pm. How surprising, right?! Weird thing, for some reason, Safari & YouTube seem to drain the battery faster than Netflix. How odd, huh?!

| Will the iPhone 13 mini be discontinued when the 14 releases? Posted: 07 May 2022 01:04 PM PDT Hi I'm wondering this as I have a 12 mini and I wondering whether to upgrade to the 13 mini. As there's no 14 mini and they are apparently releasing another phone in its place I'm wondering whether they'll discontinue the 13 mini. If so I'm thinking of upgrading earlier otherwise it'll be really hard to find a new one layer on. [link] [comments] | ||
| Notify battery when charging up to 80% on iPhone Posted: 05 May 2022 06:51 AM PDT For those who want to use the method of charging the battery to 80% to prolong the battery life on the iPhone, an easy way to notify during charging is to use the shortcuts app. It is possible to configure so that when the charge level is equal to 80%, the phone makes a notification, or for those who prefer, just configure it so that it starts a 1 second timer, in this way it will ring the same as the alarm. Edit: for those who are wondering, the method of charging the battery up to 80% is to prolong its useful life, reducing wear, as the batteries when remaining for long periods near their extremes, that is, 0% and 100% is stressful for the component, promoting greater wear, of course each one uses the phone the way they want, but for those interested in using this method and not using the cell phone a lot on a daily basis, it is a way of taking care of the battery. https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-lithium-based-batteries [link] [comments] | ||
