  • You can only export the passwords from a Mac, then import them on the new phone. I would highly recommend switching to a platform agnostic password manager such as Bitwarden, that way if you switch back it’s not a huge burden.

    Copy paste works between Samsung devices, but then you need to buy a Samsung tablet… you’d be trading one ecosystem for another.

    Ask yourself “what am I going to gain by switching?” Make a list of the things you are gaining and like that’s on android, such as customization, split screen, etc.

    Then make a list of all the things you are losing, like integration with your Mac, your notes app, FaceTime, iMessage, airdrop, Apple Watch (if you have one) etc.

    Then compare the lists, is what you’re gaining outweigh what you’re losing?

    Often times the grass isn’t greener on the other side. There are a ton of reasons to chose either, but what fits you best only you know.





  • That’s the point of innovation isn’t it? To invent something we don’t currently have. If we can make a list of things, that isn’t innovative, it’s just features we’d like to see.

    Apple doesn’t push the boundaries anymore. They don’t even try really. Their game now is to put time and effort into the silicon. In that department they are making really good progress, and deserve a ton of credit for pushing the industry forward. Otherwise, they are just collecting money every year with minimal itiritave updates.

    We need breakthroughs in battery technology. Imagine an iPhone battery that lasts a full week. An Apple watch that you don’t have to charge for 2 weeks…

    Maybe the Vision pro will deliver some of that innovation. Spatial video has real potential to be a bonkers feature. Reliving a memory through a video as if you were there is mind blowing type of stuff.

    Watching an NFL game as if you were on the field, or basketball, etc is the kind of “pushing” the limits thing that I could see apple being able to do.

    If you’re looking for innovation out of the current products, you’ll be severely disappointed. That’s the cash cow, they aren’t messing with that.

  • Vast majority of everything will be the exact same. Instagram is Instagram, banking apps, etc, etc, will all look and feel the exact same.

    Ask yourself what are you going to gain by switching? Does that outweigh what you will lose? For example, is a folding phone worth losing iMessage and FaceTime? Is losing the integration with Mac worth it because now you get to customize your entire experience?

    Staying in the garden has its perks. Leaving it also has its perks, like the freedom to choose whatever device you want.

    The decision is up to you.
