Pixel 7 owner who switched to iPhone 15 says his phone doesn’t make him insane anymore

[rizhal]

You try using a high end android phone then you'll know the difference.

The only opportunity for me is playing the Huawei/Samsung demo phone in the shop Their zoom camera are powerful than iPhone.

My one requirement. To fully charge my iphone from 0 to 100% in 30 mins or less. I would switch. Not a min more.

My current phone is charging at 120kw or something. 28 mins settled.

Still prefer samsung ui

I haven’t used iTunes to connect my iPhone for many years.

Guess there is no real use case for me. As my laptop has no music/video, my iPhone can access YouTube and Apple Music directly.

As for customization, could you please give examples. Thanks.

Just stick with iPhone since your view is like that.

Android is more for those who are able and willing to tinker abit to get significant benefits. No point forcing yourself to try Android.

More Android users switch to iPhones than the other way around, and this is a trend that remains unchanged after years of competition between the two platforms. Of course, iMessage is no longer the only reason to ditch your Android phone. Recent surveys show that people appreciate the overall iPhone experience more than Android. Moreover, teens and young buyers are predominantly looking to get an iPhone rather than an Android device.

Then, we have the recurrent accounts of Android users who have switched over to iPhones, most of them filled with praise. The most recent one I’ve read is the story of a former Pixel 7 owner who switched to the iPhone 15. He now says he no longer wants to throw his phone out the window. He added that, “as the saying goes: Apple just. Works.”




“Switching has in the most literal possible way increased my mental health. Thank you Apple,” Reddit user DarhkTear wrote in a recent post.


The Pixel 7 is one of Google’s 2022 flagships, which should still be a great device this year. That should be the case with any recent flagship. I’m still rocking the iPhone 14 Pro, and I’m not going to upgrade to the iPhone 15. I will get an iPhone 16 next year, most likely. But the iPhone 14 Pro could easily last another few years if I wanted it to.

Back to the Pixel 7, the handset should still deliver a great experience this year, but that’s apparently not the case. Not according to DarhkTear, who says the Pixel 7 had a slew of bugs and was quite slow at various tasks:


The Pixel 8, or any other 2023 Android phone was not even a consideration for this user. That’s how bad the Pixel 7 experience must have been for them. I’m only speculating, of course. But, as you’ll see below, this Pixel 7 owner ended up buying two iPhone 15 units.

The Redditor wanted to pass the Pixel 7 to a friend after switching to the iPhone 15, when he encountered additional issues, with the Android handset becoming unresponsive:





DarhkTear said he ended up trading the Pixel 7 for another iPhone 15 to give to his wife. Apparently, she had noticed that his “mental state and random aggravation” subsided after moving to the iPhone:


The Redditor was a longtime Android user, too, given his criticism of Google that concluded his iPhone switch experience. That’s an important detail here:


At the end of the day, this is a subjective experience, as are all smartphone opinions. There must be plenty of happy Pixel 7 owners out there. But, again, this is a recurring theme here. More Android users are unhappy with their chosen mobile platform than the other way around.

If it’s not already doing so, Google should probably keep an eye on this type of feedback from the r/iPhone subreddit. It might help the company improve the Pixel experience in the future.

Could you please share the restrictions on iPhone ?

I am an iPhone all my life, I don’t know what I have been missing the features on Android side.

Dumb iphone no number rows on top of the keyboard. Dumb iphone lump all settings in the setting.. To change camera setting u need go outside and setting to search for the setting. Dumb iphone u can't long press the pull down icon to go into the setting... Dumb iphone u can't move the icons to the place u want...dumb iphone no dual apps function. Dumb iphone force u to watch ads in games and apps. . Dumb iphone is so freaking hard to use.

Andriod for smart ppl ... Apple for stupid ppl

 

[wisewise]

the mandatory itunes usage just to transfer videos/music over to the phone is already a major turn off. Also customisation options for iphone is simply pathetic.

As you age and mature, customization is no longer important.
you just need something straightforward, works well and reliable.

 

[bobafettup]

Here we go again

Andriod for smart ppl ... Apple for stupid ppl

Not really lah. Most top people uses iPhone than android. They have no time to fiddle around with phones, to them, they just need a reliable and simple phone.

it isn't straightforward for when trying to transfer files over to my iphone though

 

[buttbERry]

Just use the phone u like

 

[wisewise]

iPhone = use the phone like how Apple wants you to use it
Android = freedom to choose


Biggest plus is can side-load apps on Android that are actually good for the users (although noobs will also side-load stupid **** and get hacked). Watching youtube with 0 advertisements and even auto skipping the youtuber video's in-video promotions is unmatched.

I never had to watch any ads on youtube on both iPhone and ipad leh. ad blocker works well in ios.

I don’t have any problem transferring files, what’s the issue?

 

[Mechafanboy]

Advertisement masquerading as an objective article.

Apple is good until it breaks on you and apple demands 1k to service your phone. Owns almost half of smartphone market but cost is still so high. Where's the economics of scale?

 

[zgmfx09a]

I never had to watch any ads on youtube on both iPhone and ipad leh. ad blocker works well in ios.

Android is more than just no ads for youtube. I can basically use premium functions without paying for premium. And like I said, the app can auto skip the in-video ad reads by the youtuber.

Anyway it's also much more than youtube. But youtube is the best example because almost everyone use it.

 

[kozmik]

in general, it's still up to personal preference, when you're used to one system, just stick to it.
don't really need to argue which is better, it will never end nor have a definitive conclusion.
