Seems like their take on making some sort of hybrid version of procreate / concepts

It's not an extrapolation. The human hand has certain ratio/dimensions. What made you conclude that that was an extrapolation? I'm curious.

IPhone SE Gen1 was objectively designed to fit your hand (dimensions of your hand). That's not an opinion; it's a fact. And I'm not the only one to make that observation. Go and research it. The designers have talked through their process and the reasoning behind it. Thank you though for your brilliant contribution.

Interesting how you extrapolate your experience to be the “dimensions of the human hand”.

I have astigmatism, so larger phones work better for me. That said, I miss the smaller form factor iPhones. The 5s was as close to perfect as you could get.

T9! That's what it's called. I couldn't remember.

Wonder sometimes if there's some kind of overcompensation thing going on with these bigger phones. I just don't see most people using them in any practical sense that outweighs the fact of how awkward it is in your pocket and in your hands. Join me down the rabbit hole...

Just picked up a Gen 2 off of ebay. It's bulky, awkward, and I don't understand why the average person needs such a big screen (unless perhaps you have an astigmatism or similar). Want to play video games? Get a Nintendo Switch. Watch movies? Get a much bigger screen with an ipad rather than carrying around a clunky awkward phone. Edit spreadsheets? Use your computer. I can appreciate that some people are editing docs on the go, but is that that many people?
Sad an actual intelligently designed phone has gone out of style.

You can still do long screenshots on some websites on an iPhone. Just open the built in maps app, screenshot, and click on the screenshot icon in the bottom left. It will have 2 options at the top and one will be “Full Page.” click on that one. Click done. It will ask you to save the PDF to your files app and from there you can share the .pdf .
Less convenient than android probably but still possible on some applications

It was battery life until I updated to 16.1. Getting 40% fewer hours out of a charge for the last few days.

I use both a S21Ultra (work phone) and Iphone 14 Pro (personal phone) on the daily. So don't necessarily miss the features but I do wish iPhone had them.
- USB F*CKING C, charging on iPhone just sucks. Yes iPhones have good battery life, but they also take double the time to charge fully so it's definitely a tradeoff. Takes 90 minutes to charge iPhone fully.
- Split Screen
- Better file/photos management, like why tf does a photo still remain in the "recents" after I add it in an Album. There should be an option to "move to album" or copy to album. The photos app just looks clunky and gives me a headache because of how poor the file management is on iOS.
- Multimedia volume controls. Like let me keep the ringer volume up while keeping notifications and media on mute. Seems like a basic software thing.
- Universal back swipe, users who have never used an android don't often understand the importance of this. Navigation is so much simpler and reliable on android because of this.
- Samsung Knox secure folder.
- Siri sucks to the point where it's not even worth using, I feel like it's actually getting worse over time. Google Assistant is easily a decade ahead. Voice controls are better on android all together.
EDIT I chose to buy an iPhone because I like to keep my working and personal mobile workflows separate. I have now used an iPhone as my personal phone since 2015 and have owned 3 iterations in this time. I primarily opted for the iphone such that I could remain in both Android and IOS and avoid carrying two of the same phones while utilizing the strengths of each system. I certainly enjoy many aspects of the iPhone. Though if I were to lose my work phone or be required to only carry a single device, I would probably choose the latest Android flagship. I think Android has matured quite a bit and most anti-android sentiments are driven from social reasons as opposed to actual product technical assessments. People somehow judge android's flaws more harshly while often turning a blind eye to Apple's crap. iPhone is a solid product, but it is most certainly over-hyped and is not good value for money IMO.

if you care more about weather than the average person, 100%. the iOS 16 weather app gives more than enough information for most people. CARROT has a lot more customization and personality, and if you don't want to pay for Ultra you can use a nice free radar app like MyRadar for your radar needs (if you live in the US or Australia)

Not exactly the same but swiping from the left edge goes back one menu and swiping along the bottom white line goes back to the previous app.

Agreed. I don’t get why the iOS dialler even has letters on it when we can’t use T9.
