After his Galaxy S10 broke down and seeing that the latest generation of Android smartphones – such as the recently introduced Galaxy S23 – are having “a large number of fundamental problems”, a user who had his whole life using Android smartphones He has ventured to buy an iPhone 14 Pro and share his impressions with the community of Reddit.
It’s not the first time something similar has happened, a few months ago an Android fan switched to iOS and published a very viral post about all the things he loved and hated. The user who has shared his first impressions of the iPhone 14 Pro has also made a list of advantages and disadvantages of iPhone versus Android smartphones, and it never hurts to see the comparison from a new perspective.
Impressions of the iPhone 14 Pro from a user who has spent his entire life on Android
This is the list of pros that this Android user who has switched to the iPhone wanted to highlight:
- Safari: I never expected the navigation app to be so good. Previous pages are cached compared to Firefox on Android which requires a reload each time. It’s very simple. It is not full of options.
- Overall Design Unit: Same typography, user experience, animations, etc. So much so that I’m trying to keep the maximum number of native apps. It’s refreshing coming from a phone with all sorts of apps mixed in. And the animations are beautiful.
- FaceID: Much better than the fingerprint sensor. Just look at the phone! Especially with the S10, where the ultrasonic sensor wasn’t very functional.
- optimization: I can really tell that my iPhone is trying to save battery. Being proactive with screen time, closing intensive apps in the background, etc. I’m surprised how much battery I get from a 120hz display.
- Design: Just I like it. The square shape and the chrome chassis that I have in the white version looks very cool to me.
- Keyboard: I loved GBoard. I thought I wouldn’t like the iPhone keyboard. I was wrong. It has learning and is as functional as GBoard. Swipe to type is also just as good.
- Ecosystem: airdrop. iMessage. FaceTime. Everyone knows about this. It’s the least important thing to me. But I appreciate it.
Some of the disadvantages that he wanted to highlight about his iPhone 14 Pro is the lack of custom applications in the App Store, image processing, Apple Music and the cost of the phone itself.
I couldn’t agree more with this user. Ultimately it all comes down to design.. The visual aesthetic of the iOS UI is much more pleasing and satisfying, in my opinion. But each operating system has its good points.
In fact, I’ve been using iOS myself for over a decade, and I still dream of having some of the same Android features on my iPhone. Such is the world of technology. There is no perfect operating system, each of them is beautiful with its flaws and its virtues. In addition, competition between manufacturers does nothing but favor the interests of consumers, who we see as update after update our smartphones are becoming more… that, smart.
