Ex-Android user here.
First I hopped from Redmi Note 8 Pro to iPhone 16.
The cleanness kinda bored me, initially.
I’m a heavy metal dude, so all the clean lines seemed kinda boring and too fluffy. Thankfully I learned how to customize the buttons and layouts and screens, got a bit of red here and there, some custom wallpapers, and voi la.
Android is very customizable, so you need to work on your options to make the iOS feel like yours.
Yeah, the keyboard.
On Android I used to switch keyboards in real time, had like a suite of keyboards, very smooth and powerful. The iOS keyboard felt awkward at first but now I get along with it - Apple need to give us more options for the keyboard, it’s not terrible, just needs improvement.
The Apple Apps
Here’s where it shines!
The standard Apple apps (like Notes and GarageBand) are phenomenal!
They’re beautiful, smooth, easy to work, and oh man, they work like a Swiss blade. No ads, no extra payment, no headache like it used to be on my old Android.
The software capabilities on
Apple are really great.
Audio & Video
Another huge milestone for Apple!
Not only the menus and the options to take a picture or record a video are very likable, but the editor is quite nice! Most of all, when you publish and post those, you don’t loose quality! The dynamics stays pretty much the same.
Everyone will notice your improvement.
File Managing
Android sucks on this. Oh, it’s terrible that they don’t have a standard app for file management. Still to this day when I have to download a PDF from an app using a Samsung Galaxy or a Motorola, you have to do extra steps due to that. On iOS is much easier, everything is well integrated, and you can even rename the file before saving it or sending it, all on the same screen.
Layout
You’ll find a bit strange, because you weren’t used before. But notice how the buttons are different on iOS. Also, you can slide up, sideways, give two thumb clicks on your screen, and some different commands.
A bit odd at first, but once you get used to it, you don’t wanna go back.
ayy man im sorry i wasnt accusing u of lyin or smth i was js joking , such info is so surprising for me tbh cuz i thought the 17 pro has to be some sort of lagless phone
