interesting...im also using s22U currently and i have no issues . no app crashes as well.
Hmm maybe its just me. I'm a rather heavy user. I took some time to think through. And as much as S22U has more advanced and latest features, to be honest I don't use half if them. The basic stuff don't always work well consistently. Overheating is an issue daily, network is sometimes an issue. I've read apparently they use less strong radiowaves and say that its good for overal long term health implications but the trade off is bad and inconsistent network.

Apple as I heard from many and read online. They do the basic stuff to perfection consistently. No shutter lag, video is as good as camera. S22U is like good camera but video sucks in comparision. Battery life seems way better here too. I just need time to get used to IOS, I had iPhone 5 as a spare phone once and I got so frustrated with it after 5mins of use๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh yea. I sold my Galaxy Watch 4 since my mum don't use a smart watch. I'm getting the Apple Watch 8. I read and seen alot online mentioning 41mm fits better than 45mm? Everything is the same except size right? On the fence with selling Sony WF-1000XM4 for the new Airpods Pro. I know the Sony works with iPhone, but not sure for the eco system features its worth it to change too. Any advice from experience Apple Users? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜… thanks in advance.

It purely depends on your wrist size. do note that 45mm model supports keyboard on the watch unlike 41mm as the size is too small.

With regards to wireless earbuds, it purely depends on what you really want. if u are leaning towards sound quality, sony WF1000XM4 will definitely be better. I am unsure of Airpods Pro Gen 2 as I have not personally listened to it, but WF1000XM4 sounds better than Airpods Pro Gen 1 though.

If you want eco system integration, Airpods is your way to go. From spatial audio, to the seamless integration between your Mac (if you own 1), and especially when you are going for apple watch

I see thanks for the advice. I guess I should not be hasty and sell my sony for the airpods first. I can always take some time and try it. And when the new Airpods is launched to test it at the shop before I decide.

Regarding the watch. Really? I saw on YouTube comparision of 41mm and 45mm it both has keyboard.

Is it? On SE2 model, smaller size no keyboard. My bad :(

+1 for holding on to sell. U can always visit apple store to test the airpods pro on your iphone. They will sanitize the airpods with alcohol swav before letting u pair with your phone to test. I tested it before i purchased my airpods pro gen 1

Just keep on using your XM4s. When they die, itโ€™s APP2 time. The APPs are new so theyโ€™ll be full price anyway.

FWIW I have Senn TW 2s, an older Sony XM3, an AKG TWS and a bunch of wireless headphones but the APP is my daily driver. The Senn has fuller bass but the case of the APP is so damn small I can just slip it into my pocket. The ecosystem stuff is nice to have but for the daily commute, the small case is key (I donโ€™t typically carry a backpack with me for work).

WRT to Android vs iOS, I think you just have to manage your expectations. The thing about Android is that OEMs love piling on whiz bang features and cool stuff, but most of that stuff is forgotten once the next model drops. Android is a numbers race, always has been, always will be. Specs, featureset, whatever. Living on the bleeding edge is fantastic if everything works for youโ€ฆand sometimes, thatโ€™s a very big if. iOS just isnโ€™t like that. Theyโ€™re nearly always the slowest to market with the cool stuff. The OS is staid. On the other hand, that also means the basic stuff generally is nailed down and polished. Whatever features iOS adopts has a far higher chance of gaining developer traction.

Alright. I shall hold on to XM4s then. The ANC is amazing. Yes. Totally agree with your perspective. Which I recently only got to open my eyes to. I used to chase Android as they have the latest and better tech and specs. However, having the latest never seem to be really useable or stable. And to be honest I barely use 70% of the bells and whistles. Then I heard from friends and research online how iPhone is and I totally agree it should be what I want next. I don't want to chase for the latest anymore when many things even basics may not work as good or stable. But iPhone seems to be focusing on making sure everything they put in is working good and stable. Or in your words, 'nailed down and polished'. Truly excited to make the switch.

Ya lor. And nowadays Spigen includes a plastic tray to align the tempered glass perfectly with the phone. No need to guesstimate

Sorry if this has already been asked, but are 13 pro max screen protectors and cases compatible with the 14 pro max? Thanks.
