I finally decided to switch and I got my iPhone yesterday and let me tell you: WOAH.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved my S22U but the smoothness of iOS and just how clean and interactive everything is has no comparison.

There’s still a few things that I think android does better (notifications, I’m looking at you) but overall I am very happy with the switch and I can’t wait to be absorbed by the ecosystem.

I would like to get some of your recommendations for best apps in these categories:

3rd party camera: I like to use advanced features when taking photos so I’m looking for your recommendations

Photo editor: which ones are your top choices? Is Lightroom the best?

Productivity: Notes and reminders app mainly or do you prefer the native apps?

Thank you! :)

    Congrats on the downgrade!! Regretting the move I made from S22 to the 15 since the touchscreen is just horrible

      For all those users who are downvoting my vote, I hope you all get the privilege of facing the same touchscreen issues I along with 1000s of of 15 users are facing

    I always hear the notification management argument but why do you think it’s so bad on iOS? It’s never been that much different for me between the two OS’s.

      I think just how “simple” and smooth the iOS is and how long the battery lasts. I get it though, when I upgraded to my S22U I also went woah because I had an older Huawei model

      It is well known that iOS Apps are more optimized and work much smoother on iPhones compared to Android Phones 🤷‍♂️

    I just recently got darkroom. The thing I like most is that you can make a lifetime purchase vs the damn subscription model. I’m not sure how it compares to Lightroom but just throwing that out there

    Blackmagic Cam for video. Allows 4K-60 ProRes Log internally. Don’t need to expand to SDD

    Adobe Lightroom for photo editing

    I really like Apples reminders app. It can be really powerful once you spend some time on it. Same with the notes app. And I like them bc they integrate so well with other first party apps.

    Can’t blame you, Android is great for everything but normal phone use lmao. Once you start using the apps and notice the unoptimized trash they are, you surely miss the boredom of iOS, lack of split screen and trash tier notifications and all.

    There’s a super useful app on iOS called “When did I…?” (exclusive to iOS btw) in where you can keep track of how often you do stuff. Might sound super stupid but it’s extremely useful for me to track things like dentist visits, haircuts, car wash, etc.

    You can even set it to remind you when X amount of time went by since the last time you did X.

    The keyboard is going to take time to get used to. 1 month and I’m still finding it hard.
