What are some things you wish apple did better on iPhones, or some things you prefer that Samsung does better than Apple?

    omg there’s a problem with iphone microphones the last 3 phones i’ve had have had this fault with the microphone that renders it unusable.

    Unable to use the microphone for the camera app, only using the camera via another app like snapchat or instagram for example.

    The problem got worse, less apps were supporting the microphones use with the camera. Then it stopped people hearing me during my calls.

    I was forced to put my phone on loudspeaker to answer and call people as it was the only time the mic would work. Then that started to become temperamental and i was forced to connect my headphones to take a call and use the mic on my headphones.

    I got all the components changed, to then be told it’s a software problem, updated the newest IOS and still a problem.

    This happened to my iphone 7 plus, iphone 8 plus and iphone XS…

    it felt like these problems would start happeneing when a new phone was brought out but that’s a discussion for another day…

    Now i’m on the iphone 11 lol

    Photo processing. I have photos from my old old old pixel 3xl that I can blow up and not have any pixelation or loss of detail.

    The “better” camera in my iPhone 13 Pro Max only takes photos that look good at iPhone size.

    Polish the ui. Take time to actually use their device now. Like I don’t think they actually use iPhones. It’s how broken iOS is.

    An empty home screen, with all of my apps in an app drawer.

    Not ios related necessarily, but DAMN do I want a circular apple watch, and a 15 inch ipad pro…preferably in pacific blue, with a matching blue apple pencil.

      I’m looking into getting a new iPad and was worried that the 12.9 would be too big. Then I spent a bunch of time with one in a store yesterday and was also thinking that I would totally go for a 14 or 15.

    As an Android user since a week ago: Volume Control (alarm, notifications and ring tone always the same?), Gestures, Notifications, icon placement and the Keyboard.

      Yep, this is pretty much it. I’d also take Siri being able to read a summary of a question from the internet when asked instead of suggesting you look at the links on your phone.

      If I ask Google “what temperature should the oven be for chicken wings” it’ll reply “based on blah blah site the ideal oven temperature for crispy wings is 425° Fahrenheit.”

      If I ask Siri, she replies “I found this on the web” and supplies links. Okayish for if I ask the question on my phone, utterly useless if I ask on a HomePod or from across the room.

    Integrate notifications with dynamic island i have a Samsung as a secondary and there’s an app called D-Notch basically dynamic island for android but imo the developers did a great job because every time you get a notif it will appear on the dynamic island you can enlarge it or hold it to open the open the app whichever app and has almost all other dynamic island features
