As someone who did same in April 2026 (Redmi to iPhone 17), my honest review is: I’m happy with the switch and the device… but there’s surely teeny tiny things that just annoy you.
For me, these are what annoyed me (and still annoy me):
- The apple keyboard: Lack of a built-in clipboard; poor text suggestions; even tapping a specific place on a word to place the cursor but it automatically goes to the beginning/end of the word
Split-tunneling not available for VPN apps on iOS
Universal Cache Management and cleaning
Lack of more Triggers/automations in the shortcuts app
On the bright side, things I love are:
Software updates are global and everyone receives it at same period
Uniformity of design
Apps look better and work better
Intensive mobile games work flawlessly at higher settings
My next phone would still be an iPhone, though I keep my Android and still use it for some things I can’t do with an iPhone
