iOS is a different system. I don’t see the point in “hating” it as this writer repeatedly does.

It seems he wants to apply his old Android skin and familiar ways iOS, which makes no sense.

It’s clear from the article that the writer has specific requirements in a phone which Android’s modular build can deliver more easily for him. However there are hundreds of millions (maybe over a billion?) iOS users, including me, who are not sweating it over keyboards, volume switches, or installing non-Apple apps when the native ones work just fine and integrate well with the system.

The writer’s experience of FaceID is illustrative. He admits to being reluctant to embrace it due to his familiarity with fingerprint scanners on his old Samsungs, and facial recognition’s alleged poorer security. Now that he is using FaceID, his view on it has shifted and he’d rather not go back.

    Anyway, it is better to use iOS than android skins that are made to emulate iOS.

      Ive been using androids for over 10 years. but since iphone 13 pro max added 120hz and the spectacular battery life its pure temptation! I had mi 11 ultra flashed with xiaomi eu rom and forced 90hz and battery mode on, and still not impressive as iphone 13 pro max battery life. Ill stick with iphone 13 pro max for a while.

        "Screenshots don't have to be saved - imagine that! You take a screenshot, crop it, annotate it, send it whichever way you were going to send it and delete it, all from the same screen. I have countless useless screenshots from my Android past just sitting on servers cluttering my Google Photos - but not anymore."

        Well, I do this on my OnePlus almost every time I take a screenshot. Most of them won't be saved, just shared as cropped versions to wherever I need to send one.

          This just came right on time. I'm about to buy my mom her 1st iOS smartphone, she's had Android for years and the current one is a software nightmare. My dad's gonna get one as well and it's his 1st smartphone ever because the iOS interface is easier to navigate than Android's.

          Heck, even I am considering to jump the iOS ship after 10 years of Android. S22U is probably gonna be my last Android. Apple really improved themselves over the years.
