Hey guys , I feel compared to Android , iOS is kinda addicted to use , especially the apps, interface and overall ecosystem of Apple. Does anyone ever felt like the same ?

Well it depends on which Android skin that you’re talking about. For me, Pixel (Stock-AOSP) UI and iOS are just in par — simple and elegant. Most Chinese Android UI look like some bad attempt of copying iOS though. One UI? Other than the animation and it’s more one hand friendly UI, I just didn’t like the UI looks, dunno why.
You can change the animations for one UI in the Dev options to make it as smooth or as choppy or as non existant as you want.
Or just get a different launcher in general.
I think you misunderstood my point. It has a great animation, but I just don’t like the user interface, like the Settings, Notification Panel (replacing it with 3rd-party one from Play Store gives more hassle than what it supposed to be), etc.
I mean-- you could pick a different brand. There are more brands than just Samsung. Each of them can make the user experience different. I dunno.
It’s fine that you like the apple panels etc. but what if you didn’t? You wouldn’t be able to change it.
After years as a dedicated Android user, my perspective has shifted significantly. I was using a Pixel 7 Pro for my daily needs and an iPhone 12 as a secondary device, mainly at home and during travels. However, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to the iPhone experience. It’s not just about the device itself, but the entire Apple ecosystem that comes with it.
The transition was seamless – the iPhone’s smooth performance won me over, prompting me to integrate more Apple products like AirPods and AirTags into my daily life. What really stands out is Apple’s customer support, which has been exceptional in my experience.
So, I’ve made the switch: my iPhone 12 is now my primary device. I’m so impressed that I’m already looking forward to upgrading to the latest model post-iPhone 15. As a former Android fanboy, I never thought I’d say this, but I’m genuinely excited about my journey with Apple products.
Pixel Pro is 120 hz whereas iPhone 12 is 60 hz only. Didn’t you feel it to be slow though not actually slow but because of half refresh rate. I am an iPhone 12 user from last two years and love every bit of it but just the refresh rate pushed me to buy s22 when it came on sale 2 weeks ago here. It is such powerful device with double the storage of my IP12 and double the refresh rate. Gboard on Android is a typing treat to hands. Having said that I keep using my IP12 every now and then as some of the things works much better there, like Apple Pay, Airpods, Hide my email, Ask App not to track. I know you will say it’s Apple ecosystem not iPhone itself which keeps pulling me back and I would agree. That’s why Apple doesn’t care to give as many features as Android makers because it gives the ecosystem which is enough pull. However some features of S22 are either not fully there on Apple like scrolling screenshot or don’t work as smooth like generating QR code for my WiFi. But if you bring Face ID into discussion, I will totally give in in favour of Apple. There is absolutely no match and I accept notch just for Face ID wholeheartedly. In short, both worlds have many good things for you. What is more useful decides what you use more.
iPhone 13 Pro and the “Pro” versions afterward all have 120 hz
I am in game for base models only, Pro is way too much for an average consumer like me so that’s the thing. Also, I would have been happier if Apple had brought 120 hz to IP15 instead of Dynamic Island. What are your thoughts?
Good to know my minimum requirement at the time of getting the iPhone 12 was 5G and Esim only. I can’t wait to see what comes after the Iphone 15. I would opt for a mini version or even the next SE.
Too small battery may cause issues. Would suggest you to stick with normal base model even with 15.
User experience. It’s well designed and more importantly app developers have to adapt their apps to only a few iOS phones and respect strict Apple guidelines. Hence more polished apps
BINGO.
People buy Apple products because they:
- are of excellent build quality,
- have significantly better security and privacy protections than competing products, and
- provide a superior overall user experience compared to the competition.
User experience is something that must be experienced to be truly appreciated and is not something that can be easily quantified with a number on a spec sheet. Specifications alone don’t tell the whole story and don’t indicate what truly matters the most: how good the overall user experience is. This is something that people who are hopelessly fixated on specifications have a really hard time understanding.
Superior user experience is subjective.
I actually find apple products to be very irritating to use.
I recently started using Linux about 6 months ago and I didn’t rage at all. Where as apple phones and macs made me want to throw that shit against the wall.
If the transition from windows to linux can be so smooth but windows to Mac is dogshit-- it doesn’t speak well to the superior experience.
Having originally owning an iPhone 3gs up to an iPhone 5 then getting sick of that walled garden apple has-- the switch to Android wasn’t bad. But trying to use an iphone-- nope.
As someone who has used and developed software for all of the above mainstream (and some not-so-mainstream) operating systems since the 1980s, and uses each of them without issue on a daily basis, I can confidently tell you that’s a you problem.
What does programming having to do with anything… Dude I hate apple products in general. But I know swift. I don’t like java at all… But I know it.
Wtf are you talking about…
It’s a me problem? It isn’t. Because I don’t use it.
The claim is that it’s superior… It being superior is subjective meaning that it actually may not be superior to everyone.
If we’re being honest… Linux is probably the most efficient OS over Windows and whatever OS Mac uses.
