I don't own smartwatch anymore, but my galaxy buds worked well with samsung and works well with iphone too. BUT airpods and watch better work incredibly well, because they are pricey.

They wouldn’t ask because they wouldn’t know what an app was.

I use iMessage every single day. Not sure where this narrative comes from (UK)

I haven't had any problems with any of the things you mention. Not even on my iPad.

I’ve been using Tweetbot for years. It doesn’t have ads or promoted / suggested tweets in your timeline. It just shows the tweets of who you follow in chronological order, which is what I want, whereas I just opened the Twitter app and the first tweet is from 17 hours ago followed by a COD ad a tweet from 5 minutes ago and then a tweet from Elon musk, who I don’t follow, then tweet from someone I follow and then another ad. https://imgur.com/a/dBem1xd

Okay but also that’s kinda why I love the app-icon. Reminds me of that one cup pattern from the ‘90s.

Already this available in appstore

And here comes the penis collabs

could be that it's just because you haven't used anything else. For me, gestures doesn't work consistently from app to app, face ID doesn't work that great, keyboard sucks for me and only option is to use 3rd party keyboards, but apple still sometimes forces it's own keyboard, Speaker holes are tiny and collect a lot of dust, hurting the sound quality. There are many more.

My Apple Watch and AirPod Pros work incredibly well with the phone. I use both everyday and after trying many other products they are the best available for me. I’m no fan of Apple but have had the android experience and for me Apple suits my needs.

I also use a Windows laptop as after using many Macs I am not a fan.

iPhone isn’t for everyone and honestly I would go with the Samsung Fold 4 if I wasn’t using an iPhone but if I had an issue with it I can’t imagine going through an RMA if it has a hardware issue. I like I can go into a store and get support.

I’m not annoyed of anything 🤷🏻 I have been using iPhone for the last 10 years.

For me personally it’s the fact that I can buy any iPhone that has iOS 12 or later and know my hearing aids are supported. I can’t say that about android devices. It really depends on the model if it’s supported or not.

Not the person you were responding to, but thought I would chip in, if it’s alright.

Been using Tweetbot for the past few years, for a few reasons.

No ads. Less tracking from the app itself. And I’ve noticed way less battery drain compared to the official app.

Now, I much prefer the look of the official app. Tweetbot isn’t the slickest looking app. But I can look past that for a simple, clean user experience that doesn’t bombard me with ads or suck my battery dry.

Plus, it’s $6 a year to support the devs, so that’s not too bad, IMHO.

Neither. It’s pretty normal for non-grounded chargers.

went from 8+ to 12 mini to 14 pro.

i loved my mini…..except for the battery life.

that was the dealbreaker for me in the end. absolutely dismal if you’re on your phone a lot. currently loving getting through the day on a charge.

Ecosystem huh? My first experience with iphone was that, i transferred stuff from my old phone and put my sim into iphone. I had duplicate contacts, like 180 contacts duplicated. And the only way to remove all duplicates fast, i to basically own a mac, like wtf, WHY. So i had to delete every contact manually, many steps just to delete 1 contact. Not the experience i'd hoped.

Had XR and it just did not work. Bought 13 mini and I fell in love instantly.

For me Apples ecosystem is the best available in that everything for the most part works well together. The biggest thing is AppleCare and being able to go into an Apple Store and get a replacement easily if needed (which I have needed to do in the past).

With that being said I use very few of the Apple built in apps which has made the experience better for me. Use Apples hardware for easy support and longer OS support and other apps for a better everyday experience.

You can use esim only and have an American phone number

imo iMessage is very American thing. What makes iMessage good? Sending SMS over data?

Pocketcast, although they turned subscription based for new users.
