I tried using Apple Photos for a week. It was painful. Went right back to Google Photos.

Welcome to the dark side 😈

+1 for the reset network settings suggestion

Number one thing I miss: Google Assistant, without a doubt. Siri is terrible. Yeah sure, I can install the Google Assistant app, but I can’t long press to activate her, or say “hey Google”.

Notifications are a very close second place. iPhone notifications are atrocious, and they just don’t work in a way that makes them helpful.

I enjoy everything else on the iPhone more than Android. Switched to Apple in February, and haven’t even been slightly tempted to go back. Granted, I still use a lot of Google apps, which I find superior. Google makes incredible apps, but sub par software and hardware.

True. Unlike you.

Nice! How are you liking the P7P so far?

You’re absolutely right. iPhone does have an app drawer. It’s just so basic and limited that I never considered it a true app drawer and never used it, but you’re right they do have it there.

😂😂😂 delusional and blind

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

I can distinguish enough to where I absolutely refuse to use anything less than 120HZ because of how ugly it looks.

Customizable features. The Play store has TONS more options Being able to chose a different brand/design Faster charging speeds Better/ bigger batteries USB FUCKING C

Oh #4.

When I connect my S8 to my Google Home Mini... I get an extra bar for volume control on the mini, the ringer, and phone media.

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

IMazing

I have long nails and I have an Otterbox. I can't do it.

As a guy who uses both Samsung S22 Ultra and iPhone 14 pro max, I can assure you that the Samsung definitely doesn’t feel “smoother” lmao. You must be partially blind. iPhone is a smoother experience period.

• DayOne because it’s just a fantastic journaling app
• Duolingo because I’m really enjoying learning another language
• Apollo for Reddit. I can’t do Reddit with the regular all. Apollo feels so much cleaner
• Carrot weather. It’s more detailed than the stock apo

I largely agree with you, but I think some of the differences are kinda major.

• Only iOS has Airtags. For people who travel, or who have wandering pets, that feels like a pretty major thing.
• When I switched my primary SIM to my iPhone, I couldn't believe both how many spam calls I was suddenly getting and, clearly, how many my Pixel had been blocking.
• Some aspects of a genuine "it just works" with iOS (like what I understand is the case with airpods, for instance)... if it involves something you do multiple times a day, that's really gotta add up.
• And Support. I've been tempted to get my parents iPhones because knowing they can literally walk into a local friendly Apple store and get help anytime is... really something. Not possible with Pixel.

To your larger point about... not knowing what you're missing if you haven't tried it. Heh, I often think the same way about people who've never left their home country. Like... of course you won't realize how awesome public transit can be or how great it feels knowing your waiter is getting a fair, consistent wage and you not having to worry about tipping ... until you actually go to a country where those things exist.

Went from the 12PM to the Dark Purple 14PM myself and haven't looked back. The 14 is great.

I pay for insurance, instead of apple care. Works out cheaper and there are no extra fees that I need to pay if I break my screen or whatever

You will find that the phone has very little drama attached to it. Everything works, and it works exceedingly well, and the UI does it’s best to stay out of your way when you’re not using it. You may find it boring at first (e.g. because you can’t customize the UI up the wazoo), but you get used to it quickly. Soon, the phone just feels like a part of you.

BTW, good choice with the 13 Pro Max. I have it, and it’s been a rock solid device (it’s almost an insult to call it a phone. It’s a pocket computer that can make and take phone calls).

I'm on the same boat as you, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Haven't got around to going to an apple store. Idk why they don't sell unlocked iPhones at bestbuy
