The ease of groups and management of the contacts.

The ability to customize apps and folders and change colors for organization

The ability to create a direct dial icon in minimal steps vs using shortcuts.

Not having to convert a sound in garage band to get a notification sound or ringtone.

I hate having cases on my phones. Been a minute since I had an iPhone but my last one was the 11 pro and it looked so clean without the case. I have the Z fold 3 now and been rockin it with out the case as well.

Yeah, it is not the same thing on iOS. This feature is implemented extremely differently on android and Samsung's OneUI. Can only be initiated from the left side. Furthermore, it is not relievable, and every app utilizes this feature differently. Meanwhile many apps and menu options aren't optimized for this feature at all, and you have to use the standard back arrow.

Whereas the universal back swipe on android just works the same way across all apps/services and is reliable.

Again, this is coming from someone who uses both flagship devices on the daily.

I'm loving the the P7P and -- though I was initially skeptical about trading in my P6P for it -- the deals with the Google Store and Best Buy were too good to pass up.

My only minor frustration so far is that even though the fingerprint unlock is pretty good, it's still not as great as the system-wide face unlock on the iPhone 14.

Oh, wait, one more minor frustration: while I hate the sharp-brick form factor of the bare iPhone 14... with a case it does fit a lot better in my pocket, and I really wish Google would make their best-camera flagship phones in a smaller form factor.

It’s actually not like that in most cases. People don’t ask for the things they get, as much as it’s the company that develops based upon an initial idea and then they see what customers think. I use apps like this all the time with my clients and students. Just because it doesn’t do anything for you, doesn’t mean it’s useless.

Its not really the interface thats bad. Its just totally unreliable regardless of phone or car. Carplay on the other hand has never once not worked on first plug in.

Same with bluetooth generally. Every time I turn my bluetooth speaker or headphones on they work on Iphone. Never the case on Android. Small things but it really makes a difference to me.

The main thing I miss is ad blocking. Being able to set a custom dns that blocked 90% of ads was amazing. Also, side loading apps such as YouTube vanced which blocked ads, enabled background play, screen off play and tons of other features.

Mine has gone to SOS once (that I’ve noticed) but I’ve been frequently dropping signal ever since getting my 14 Pro. Even the update hasn’t completely fixed it, and I remember other people posting about it when the 14’s first released. I have AT&T btw.

unlike android, iOS is inconsistent with how one returns to the previous page. even some of apple's own apps - photos, for example - don't feature the back gesture, forcing one to use the back arrow in the upper left corner or to swipe down from the top of the screen

I just swapped recently from the Galaxy Fold 3, and before that, had Sony’s Xperia 1ii. The best Android feature is hands down the multitasking. Having two squared apps on the Xperia 1’s 21:9 display and more than 3 apps on the Galaxy Fold 3 was killer in my opinion. I’ve used more than 2 dozen phones in the past 10 years, constantly trading, selling, and buying devices. Android is the king of PC-familiarity, and since Apple wants to distance themselves from Windows (understandably, they’re Apple), we’re never going to see the iPhone have multi-app functions.

The sales rep flat out lied to you, or was ignorant.

Either way, he was wrong.

Yes you can charge iPhone 14 with the 5w charger that came with your iPhone X.

It will be slow, but it will work.
