The OnePlus slider & charging speed

Yep, the Android vs iPhone voicemail thing is nonsense.

I don’t know about this dude but I never forwarded phones or cheated or anything but there were times where I got tunnel vision at work and missed calls and replied to texts late. Also meetings. I also worked on the bottom floor where the signal was horrible and Wi-Fi calling had issues at work.

So yeah, no smoking gun here for sure.

My country has a terrible spam problem. I did not realize just how terrible it is until I switched to an iPhone this month. I really took Google Messages for granted.

I’ve always had naked iPhones since 2010 and never regretting the decision (despite dropping and breaking two historically)

Samsung SmartThings is installed by default on most Galaxy phones. They also work practically the same way like Airtags with iPhones. The only difference is that Samsung provides two versions; regular (cheaper) SmartTags which only use BLE, and SmartTag Plus which uses UWB like in AirTags.

Old Samsung Notes with S pen were literally smaller then the standard size iPhone nowadays. I see no problem here.

It’s just difficult to change iOS’s gesture model into Android’s, as they were designed with completely different priorities in mind.

My iPhone 11 was stolen in Paris in June. Despite having insurance for expensive gadgets I came out with about £250 towards a new phone…..for the loss of a phone that cost me £700+.

Ended up forking out around £800 for an iPhone 13.

I now pay £9.95 a month for AppleCare + Loss & Theft and think it’s an absolute bargain.

P.S. Sainsburys travel insurance (Operated by Taurus) is absolute BS. Not a new for old policy provider so you’ll end up offered a second hand phone or the cost of a second hand phone (minus your excess obvs)

True, but doesn’t stop the lack of universal back gesture being a pain. Especially when said apps are your energy suppliers app etc.

Notifications management, call recording, gallary and apk files

Apps that don’t have the gesture are badly designed and probably have an alternative that’s better designed.

> USB F*CKING C, charging on iPhone just sucks.

Charging speed has nothing to do with the port, the iPhone’s charging circuitry just cannot handle more than ~20W.

> Multimedia volume controls. Like let me keep the ringer volume up while keeping notifications and media on mute.

While you can’t keep ringer and notifications separate (which you also cannot do on Android iirc), media volume and ringer volume are two different volumes in iOS. Settings → Sounds → Ringtone and Alert Volume is a different slider than the one in Control Centre.

> 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.

iOS pursues a very different model with this, that can’t easily be changed into Android’s. Android’s design started out with a physical button for “back”. The back gesture was an afterthought in Android 10, and simply displays an arrow on the side of the screen when used.

iOS’s design is all about fluid animations creating intuitive motions. If a page opens by sliding from the right to the left, you close it by swiping it back where it came from, from the left to the right (a page in an app). If it opens from the bottom up, you swipe it down to close it (modals). This needs to be under the control of the app so that it can actually physically animate the page when you swipe it. This is the model that Apple recommends any developer to implement in their apps. If an app does not adhere to these gestures, it’s badly designed.

No like the app icon.

Custom and fine tuned notifications and notification centre hanlding, gestures to go back a screen, Android's gallery and file system sync and categorisation, the awesome GBoard (gboard on ios sucks)

File manager, Back Gesture, Call Recording, Notifications and general ease of access

But iPhone is sweet, I don’t regret

If only that one was a available outside the US. One of the reasons to be unhappy with Google is how many features they region-lock and seemingly never being over to Europe.

Always on display, the one on my 14 just really ain’t cutting it compared to Android

It’s not universal though, and some apps don’t had swipe from left side to go back. Can be frustrating.

I agree, I wish that the full-page screenshot had more uses in more apps.

Some. Not good enough.

The best thing about a case is I can set my phone face down on a table and not have to worry about scratches on the screen.

Yeah I’m always jealous when I see people using spen on their s22 ultra.

Is this on iPadOS 16.2 too?

Let me ask you a question. Can you invest your time in something? Like a relationship? In education? In your health?
