A week with Apple ...

[Keanu Leeves]

Yep, I don’t necessarily think either way is better of worse, it’s all about what you are used to.

I use a Samsung A50 for work calls to overseas numbers once or twice a week and still have a problem wondering how to open the phone. Face ID seeks to need a press of a button first and entering a PIN number needs a press of “ok” after entering. Weird to me but second nature to Android users.

As said in this thread many times, forget the one OS and embrace the other knowing that it works differently and is not better or worse than the old system you left.

mate,I think a setting is off

 

[Spizz]

Lol another app that's worse on iOS.

Good grief, doesn’t your Russell Hobbs or whatever brand Android you actually have in your hand have the capability to play games or something? It must be better than trawling the Apple threads and making yourself look like a sad loser every time you comment.

 

[bwana]

Why is that?

I’ve always changed to apps that work.

You've spent so long with a disdainful prejudice for the iPhone that I doubt you are doing anything other than attempting to prove yourself right.

How do I see what WiFi network I’m connected to? The actual SSID

Or long press on the networking part of the Control Centre.

Fisher-Price would be more suitable for him.

Swipe down on the right hand side of the notch, long press the wifi icon on the top left side of the screen

Or

Home screen (swipe up from any app), Settings, Wifi

(my settings icon is on my home screen)

Just wanted to agree with this. You are actively fault-finding and complaining at any opportunity you can. If you adopt a learning attitude maybe you'll get further with this.

If one considers Dolby's history of basically Apple hatred, I think his position is understandable. I commend the man for giving Apple a chance!

He likes his Apple TV. Considering one spends a huge chunk of their day on their phones, doing repetitive things, it's only a matter of time before he starts liking his iPhone, I reckon.

I literally took what I’d been doing on Android and went to iOS?

I therefore downloaded the same popular apps, started using them and then came to ask questions.

I didn’t actively seek out that my 22Seven app that I’ve been using for years, was junk on iOS. I didn’t actively seek out the Amazon Alexa was slower - I have one and use it. I didn’t actively seek out screen stutter on Tapatalk - I only downloaded it when this forum told me to use it.

I think every single question thus far has been valid

I DO like it - but look at it from my side :

After years of people telling me how many years ahead this phone, it’s a bit disappointing that within the first 2 weeks to see screen stutter, apps opening slower and having 4 or so crashes.

I just expected more.

Using another phone, please upload a video of the stutter? I think we are all interested to see.

You might find that the apps you used on your Android journey aren't the same as the ones we've used on ours. I can confidently say that no apps I use open slowly or crash.

I even have an old iPhone X with 75% battery health in Service Mode, and it does not stutter. Except when at 1% battery life.

P.S. Did you answer about using a third party keyboard?

For sure on the video - I’ve taken one already, but at 60fps it’s not the most visible . But others have experienced the same.

I used a 3rd party keyboard the 1st week. I reset and haven’t installed another

This thread is making me think to reconsider my decision to go back to iPhone when my work upgrade comes due toward the end of the year, lol. My last iPhone was in 2011 I think.

Did you know that 22seven aka Old mutual literally reworked that app from the ground up because of how useless it was before. I was part of the beta testing and it’s shocking how the developers implemented certain features. But then again I don’t expect you to understand that custom apps have the developer and not the platform to blame.

I have a 13 pro and don’t have stutter on my Tapatalk. Although the app is garbage and crashes and stops working a lot but I know that’s a fault of the app developers not Apple.

Haven’t used Alexa but I’m willing to bet it’s Amazon and not Apple at fault. But hey let’s all blame google for the millions of malware apps on the play store despite them not uploading it.

Do you see how your “questions” are problematic?

Ok

What issues do you have with Alexa? Works fine on my iphone 12.

Which Android phone were you using it on before and in which way was it better?

Must confess that for me going from Android to IOS about 7 years ago was a breeze. I missed the customisabilty at first but everything else was such an improvement that I never looked back again.

The error explains it…

And seems specific to the forum not the software.

 

[SauRoNZA]

Swipe down on the right hand side of the notch, long press the wifi icon on the top left side of the screen

Or

Home screen (swipe up from any app), Settings, Wifi

(my settings icon is on my home screen)

Third option.

Swipe down from any Home Screen and type “set” and it will be the first thing to pop up.

Fourth Option.

Ask Siri.

See this is where it gets problematic.

It has one tiny feature missing and suddenly it’s junk on iOS.

I bet if you used it with a more open minded perspective you’ll find it does other things Android doesn’t do, or does something differently better than Android does it, but you are so stuck on the small things that are different and then deal in such extremes.

Nothing on my phone is slow, but then historically we know you are so obsessed with this stuff you literally sit with a stopwatch while using your devices to compare them to each other.

Don’t you think the fact you cannot easily select transactions by month a bit of an issue for a budget app? That’s a pretty key feature.

And as for the speed, I’m not too concerned. But again, the A15 should be 1,000% or so faster than my old Android. Then you Google and think ‘is there something wrong with my phone?’


The iPhone is an engineering marvel powered by sheer innovation. Time and time again, Apple has delivered a state-of-the-art smartphone that offers its loyal customers an experience that any other smartphone manufacturer cannot match.

The cheapest iPhone has a more powerful processor than the most expensive Android phone

iPhone X's TrueDepth camera said to be 2.5 years ahead of Android competition

Apple iPhone 12 Pro is miles ahead of Android phones and that is a FACT

 

[Dolby]

It’s really down to what I’ve read.

The 1,000% faster chip with the best battery, best screen, best UI, best camera, best workflow is a little underwhelming when you use it for the first time.

I mean you’ve read some of the comments on MyBroadband? And some those comments on the Apple forum? They seriously give the impression that thing is YEARS ahead

 

[Dolby]

Then the first few apps loader straight from my Android offer a worse experience- and I’m told that I’m trying to seek fault?

As was said at the beginning of this thread, iPhone users seem to hate anything ‘not brilliant’ about the device.

I don’t like Face ID extra step? It’s my fault
I don’t like that I can’t share to Snapseed? Google fault
I don’t like the way sharing to Instagrams is flawed? You’re doing it wrong

I also find selecting multiple photos easier on Android (just long press to select the first) - but on iPhone I have to click ‘select’ at the top of the screen, and then select photos.

Long press is much easier, if you’re honest
