Any android users here who switched to iPhone and regretted it? I remember seeing some posts here about people selling their new iPhones. So, I am a little hesitant to make the jump 😅

I'm regretting it big time. Miss the freedom I had with Android. Plus I find new stupid little things everyday that iPhone can't do. My most recent finding: If you connect a bluetooth speaker with your phone for morning alarm, the alarm will ring on the phone instead of speaker 😅. I especially miss the dual apps and guest mode features for making use of both my sim cards. Any simple app on the app store will force you to add credit card for a 7 day trial because the devs know iPhone users cannot sideload any app. Even a wallpaper app will force you to see a 60 second unskippable ad to use any of the wallpapers. I'm on the lookout for a new good Android phone release so I switch back asap Luckily I have an Android tab that I use for doing everything my phone can't do (which are a lot of things).

Not iPhone, but I tolerated an iPad Pro for close to a year before giving up and getting Galaxy Tab. My biggest problem was not being able to do the things that I want on something that costs 80K. An iPad Pro with the processor of a MacBook won't let you open videos in VLC without moving the actual files to a "VLC" directory is.. unacceptable for me. It's like you're handed a Ferrari capped at a speed limit of 10 KM/h.

Ah same. My iPad is a 50k youtube player even though I purchased it for productivity. The entire OS is crippled on purpose :/

jumped from pixel to an iphone, been 2 years, absolutely loving it so far. Gmail notifications on android are a pain (the irony). No bloatware and the camera is amazing! The best parts are the privacy features. No lag at all even after 2 years (no matter how premium android you get, the lags are evident). If you use a mac, the universal copy paste, call forwarding and now the camera continuity features are icing on the cake! Would absolutely recommend.
Also, there is no good android phone out there end to end. If a phone has good hardware, the software updates and experience after a year is terrible. If the software is good, the after sales is horrible. iPhone (and applecare if you can) gives unmatchable peace! Can't resist saying this , but “it just works”

FWIW, I feel the same way^ about my S21 as you do for iPhone. My Samsung Buds, Watch, Tablet, and Phone work very well with each other. I have the Samsung equivalent of AppleCare+ and I haven't had to use it yet but I'm sure it won't match up to AppleCare+ convenience. If you want to stick to Android and want an "ecosystem", Samsung is the way to go.

Not regretting it, but missing a few things on iOS. I switched from Mi A2 to iPhone SE 2020. • First thing that irks me the most is messages on iOS, it doesn’t filter spam SMS’s like android does. • Notifications in android are superior in every way to iOS, it has improved over the past two years but still way behind Android. • Call disconnecting, sometime iPhone gives the red button to disconnect an incoming call but most of the time it doesn’t. It’s a phone, its basic functionality should be able to do that. Freaking land lines can do that now, not a iPhone though. • Screencasting/chrome-casting: depending on the mood of the iOS it works sometimes, sometimes it doesn’t. Other than that for 70% of the experience I don’t notice a difference between both of them, as most of the major apps are designed to look and function the same. Battery life is bad on my phone but I think thats due to the model not cause of the OS.
