I have been an Android users for as long as I can remember. The idea of an iPhone with USB C and a nice Titanium build was too hard to resist. I went for a 15 Pro, now I am questioning whether I made a mistake. For reference I switched from a S23 Ultra, mainly because it’s just way too big.

I love this iPhone but for how much it costs it has some massive inconveniences. These include the massive pain of file transfers to and from PC, poor notification management and no universal back button like there is on Android. Everything thing else I like, the small form factor is so nice in the hand, Face ID is amazing, all apps just work well and video recording quality is god tier.

I guess this is directed mainly to people who switched from Android, do you get used to these inconveniences or not? I am still within my 14 day return period and am torn between returning the phone or just sticking with it?

    This exact scenario gets asked like hourly in this sub. Can we get an FAQ? 😂

    It’s a different phone, and if you’re not committed to changing how you do things, it’s not going to be fun. But that’s not a one way street. You have to change how you do things no matter what. I’ve switched between android and iOS multiple times though I don’t plan on switching back to android.

    Especially now I don’t get the complaints of moving files because either everything is cloud based or you can just plug an external drive in and easily move files yeah?

    This is all preference. If you don’t like something don’t use it. For me notifications in iOS are fantastic because I want to filter out noise and with android you have persistent icons in the notification tray making it look anxiety inducing and ugly AF. I get the notifications I want to ACTION when I want. People need to go read a book instead of worrying about phone notifications from purely leisure apps imho.
