Easy to use

My iPhones have had less random issues, and o got an Apple Watch as a gift right when I was due for an upgrade.

Because I have an MBA M1 as personal computer, MPB M1 Max for work, Apple Watch, Airpods, 2 Homepods and other miscellaneous things. So yeah, an Android wouldn’t fit my use case.

Started using iPad for drawing. Purchased iPhone for the airdrop. Hated it for a week, fell in love after

I use both iPhone and Samsung Galaxy

Just the polish of it all.
Best comparison is - on Android it feels like you’re beta testing apps, on iPhone it feels like you have the final product always.

Because OnePlus failed its customer promise and directed away from what it originally was. It is what you get trying to appeal to the masses and losing your identity along the way. So I decided to change the manufacturer after 7 years on OnePlus. 7 pro was my last device and it was good. Peak OnePlus right there

Nothing but bad experiences with Samsung devices, so I don’t want to buy one.

Pixel has hardware issues and subpar specs, also not officially available or supported in my country.

Decided to give a try to iPhone after years on windows phone and nearly a decade on Android.

Microsoft decided to kill Windows Phone.

I have a work-issued iPhone 11 and a personal Pixel 8 Pro.

iPhone has ergonomics and ease of use. Although I don’t use it much for anything other than camera, spotify, browsing, workplace management, and email. No real personal apps. Battery life is amazing for endless emails and photos. Surprisingly enough, we don’t integrate mac on any other mediums in the workplace.

I will say, the Pixel 8 Pro is not really living up to my battery expectations but it’s new and I haven’t given it much rest.

Got good promotions from my carrier and then been getting free upgrades (except tax) every year so why not.

I use both the 15 pro and the Galaxy S23U. Prefer samsung as it has more customizable UI and various multitasking features. I can make my phone look and behave the way it’s most comfortable for me to use. It’s basically a computer in my hand.

iPhone is my work phone and would only recommend to someone who wants a basic phone which does all that a generic smartphone should do (and apple is very good at doing these things) and is not too techy. iPhones UI is smooth, has good battery backup, has great camera and everything that an average joe would need. All these are also true with any android nowadays but an average user won’t use all the features anyways and might confuse some non techy people.

Things done right

I was curious about the highly praised Apple line up. When I had to replace my Samsung, I bought for cash the iPhone 14 Plus and an iPad 10. I didn’t want a contract. They are both just ok for my uses. I bought the then current best of each figured I would learn as I went. The learning curve was surprisingly difficult as I didn’t have any experience with Apple toys. I took them back to where I bought them to get them figured out. There was no charger, and at the store I learned my charging issues were because I was using my old Samsung charger and the iPhone demanded more power. The iPad has replaced my laptop for on line banking, shopping, and Google. The iPhone is carried for voice and text, but not much else. I still have my Samsung phone on WiFi so it is my calendar and alarm plus contacts. At Verizon, transferring the data didn’t copy everything to the iPhone so with everything already on the Samsung, I just use that. .
