I switched the other way 'round. I don’t have any regrets, but I am envious of a few things iPhones have that absolutely should be copied by android(s). I don’t care if it’s a blatant rip-off, so long as it is a good feature that improves the UX, this goes both ways btw.
Magsafe. It’s the best invention of Apple in recent years in my opinion. Can’t wait for Qi2 devices to come out. (By the way, it wouldn’t surprise me if Apple made magsafe an open standard so that it can still remove the port in a few years). Right now, I have to make due with a metallic magsafe sticker on the back of my case.
The weather app. It’s just sooo good on iOS. I love the fact that you can tap every element and it expands and it gives you more detailed info. When I tap on my native weather app on android, it just redirects you to a website.
The lockscreen customization. I love the way blurred wallpapers look (which I believe doesn’t require a 3rd-party app to blur it on iOS), and I love how the clock can go behind elements of your wallpaper.
But all said and done, I just can’t live without some other features only Android has. Maybe when the rumour of Apple allowing sideloading on iOS 17 for only in the EU comes true, then it might become a serious consideration for my next phone. But right now, I’m really happy with my S22+ (yes, I have the exynos model and that’s just fine with me).
