I bought an iPhone 13 Pro & iPhone 13 Mini, as well as Apple TV 4K. I started to use the Apple apps (Mail, Maps, Calendar etc) and subscribed Apple services (iCloud, Apple Music, Apple TV+)
I even changed my watch to something more ‘Apple friendly’ (though I couldn’t handle the battery life on an Apple Watch, so I went Garmin)
Based on what I’ve used before, I truly do not see anything being many years ahead of the competition - both hardware & software.
I’m sorry to say it - but as much as it’s a great phone, there are irritations and times I can’t even see the gap from an old Android to this.
It is, obviously, opinion based on what you use and value - but as I’ve said before, I had a greater expectation in moving from a 3 year old Android to the latest iPhone.
