I have an iPhone XS and ordered an iPhone 14 Pro, which arrived this week. I made the mistake of ordering it without first viewing one in a store. What a disappointment. The 14 Pro is a very heavy phone and the cameras make it look cartoonish. Within 48 hours of taking delivery of the phone, I returned it to Apple.
Overall, I don't like the direction that Apple has been taking with recent iPhone design. The phone is now too tilted towards users who want to take high-end pics and videos. What about making mobile phones that are lighter and more energy-efficient than their predecessors? Equally, I am quite sure that if Steve Jobs was still alive and running Apple, he would never have signed off on adding camera lenses that are not flush with the back cover of a phone.
I'm hoping for better things with the next iPad Pro but I reckon that I will check it out in an Apple store before committing.

Meow, 13 Sep 2022Apple is good at making phones because it's Apple'... moreBut iOS is optimised for iPhone hardware and it's a big part of what makes them so fast. If you somehow put iOS onto Android hardware, the result may not be as great as you think.

Camera quality and supporting feature like LIDAR for night mode aside. iPhone storage have NVMe SSD compared to Xperia's normally should be ufs. On top of that have option up to 1TB blazing fast ssd, plus good image / video compression methods, make iPhone take photo / video fast and efficient.
Sony you may have to opt for SD card.. which is slow and may not have the read and write for high quality videos and photos.
However Sony would excel in option in sharing photo (utility apps), because photo and video format taken by Android OS normally can open on any PC, BT / NFC sharing and so on. While iPhone, normally send thru messages, whatsapp, and Airdrop (Between iDevices only).

Anonymous, 02 Oct 2022Thank you. Looks like you favour the iPhone?No favours no bias. Just pointing out each's strength, if money is no issue.
You may think lesser amount of strength = less favours.. but no. Some people really value those niche features, like jack / sd slot / bt transfer / utility apps.

Should I buy an iPhone 14 Pro or an Xperia 5 IV? Both have solid build quality, 120Hz OLEDs and tight haptics. Xperia has the better, sleeker design (imo) and headphone jack/SD card. Not to mention it's a product of Japanese engineering and manufactured in Thailand. But the iPhone has better software support and performance.

Although this, like every other iPhone, is overpriced. This is the first time I've been impressed by Apple. Would kill to buy.

Plus the battery capacity of Apple is smaller than Samsung.
So it means the chip is more efficient, and if you carry a power bank or want to charge, iPhone will last longer and charge faster.

Richelieu, 28 Sep 2022What are you still waiting for go get it 🤤😏Thank you. That's a more practical advice than my previous advice of buying 4 midrange phones. Who are we kidding.
One iPhone 14 Pro is such a steal than 4 midrange phones.
You also get a dynamic island which is groundbreaking. The island itself is so cutting edge, it's like having a separate entity on top of an already budget-friendly iPhone 14 Pro.
Also, buying 4 Xperia 10 IVs with an Endurance rating of 163h for the entire family seems a bad idea. One iPhone 14 Pro per family will suffice now that it can even communicate with satellites. Mindblown.
And if you're a store owner, 4 midrange phones for your employees in place of one iPhone 14 Pro is also impractical.
Buying 740,000 Samsung Galaxy XCover Pros? Nah.
Why buy 740,000 XCover Pros when you can get fewer iPhone 14 Pros with "dynamic islands." You get Satellite communication as well. And Pro cameras.

Iphone is good for people who want to keep their phone for 5yrs.
Its performance is best in the business.
This time the cameras are also up there with the best.
Battery life is also great thanks to software optimization.
Iphone is essentially for basic day to day users.
Android is for advanced users who want as much tech as possible.
They have surpassed apple many years back pushing the innovation beyond.
