What Someone who spent their whole life with Android switches to iPhone We will always love him, of course. But we shouldn’t stop there, curiosity is the best thing in these cases: which Android phone does it come from? Which iPhone did you buy? What do you think of the experience?
This is what an Android veteran who just purchased an iPhone 15 Pro described, describing his feelings with the first steps he took within the Apple ecosystem. What is curious is that, according to him, There was something about the iPhone that almost made me give the phone back.
“I almost thought I had to return the iPhone”
The person reporting the change is user sneesnoosnake on Reddit, who was using a Pixel 6 and upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro. His first impressions were positive: was happy to see a phone without bloatware (applications installed by third parties such as the operator) and was surprised by the speed of Face ID.
The integration of the devices also surprised him: One of his children has an iPad, and he was able to share the Internet with him on a car trip without him having to do much. All he had to do was activate the hotspot, “without having to enter a password.”
Now, there are things that Seesnoosnake doesn’t like, and he makes it clear that even He thought about returning the iPhone when he detected an intermittent signal problem with his WiFi.
Fortunately, he was able to resolve it by disabling certain system services’ access to the WiFi network, although he “has his eyes open” in case the problem reappears. Another solution offered by Apple itself is to configure DNS manually on the iPhone.
The pending tasks of iOS 17 according to an “Android”
Other things that could be improved in iOS 17, according to Seesnoosnake, are the “difficulty” changing the time of an alarm or turning it off, the inability to have specific apps reveal alarm details . material from the iPhone for security reasons, or be able to choose a default map application (at least we can choose the browser in iOS 17.4).
He also finds it odd that he can’t place icons in any “space” on the iOS home screen (they have to be stacked top to bottom in order), and he’s missing the bottom navigation bar of Android out of pure habit. We hope that the iOS interface and the advantages of integration between other devices will convince you.
