I randomly switch between devices every few days 😂 yeah I know I have problems. I have switched to the following devices (S22U, Zflip 4 and Pixel 6a) after getting the iPhone 14 with no issues. Those were done within a few days.
I switched to the Pixel 6a to try out my new Pixel buds pro to run an update. The Pixel 6a battery was draining too much so I decided to switch back to the iPhone 14 the same day. That might have caused my problem, I’m guessing it’s too short of a time with each device that caused an issue with T-Mobile activation server.

On a non-apple phone, if you click onto a search address bar a dedicated .com button pops right up next to the space bar. The more phone companies copy eachother, the better it is for all consumers.

How is FaceID not working for you. I've used it with the XSMax from when it came out and now iPhone 14. It's so seamless that 99% of the time I don't even notice it's happening.

I started with the iPhone 4. And yes at that point the OS was quite basic compared to now. Coming from a Nokia so of course a lot was better but a fair bit worse too.

Good eye. I always wondered why 120hz didn’t feel super special on 13 Pro and I think you figured it out.

This is my concern, I regularly switch between my devices every week or 2, I realise I am an edge case but it does feel like that it is going to be taken away in the near future. Now apple have started down this route everybody is bound to follow.

Now if they mordenised how Sims work e.g. one sim able to work across more than one device then it could work.

I think I can only do that if I get it through a 2 year plan with my carrier.

Well my first Samsung (Galaxy S4 mini) broke down after two years (it was a very buggy line-up), then I had Galaxy A3 2017, which had only 16 gigs of storage and it effectively became unusable after about 3 years because I couldn't move any apps to my SD card and I'd already removed everything that was non essential. And the battery was shit. My current phone overheats constantly and needs to be charged 2 times a day, and it will not receive Android 13 and it will stop being supported with security updates sometime next year. I've only had it for 2 yrs 7 months. I guess it would be an investment for me if it's a good phone and it can be safely and effectively used for many years (at least 4).

I love Android but all the Samsungs I've used just don't last long. And I'm not really interested in other Android phones. I guess all the advantages of iPhones you mentioned seem like they make the phone kind of... superior? In the long run

Actually, I find it very useful to adjust the alarm volume. If you have very thin walls, the alarm could wake up the person in the next room.

yeah smart move im also thinking about applying some sort of skin on the back of my phone.

Imo yes. You’re not only getting superior software support but you’re also getting a new experience with iOS & there’s nothing wrong with changing it up

Oh. Sorry, I misread. Thought you were saying it automatically closes it. I'm thinking it's by design.

I had my SE 2 in an Otterbox case and it scratched up the back glass pretty bad - so I sold it and bought a new one.

I now apply back protectors before putting my phone in a case. I have no scratches on my new SE 3 now.

I don’t know what the return policy is where you live, here in the states we have 14 days to try out an iPhone. If you have such a return policy, advise you get one and if you like it, keep it if you don’t send it back before the time is up.

Nice pattern.

There’s no reason to jump to iPhone, because flagships offer similar performance overall of it’s pricepoint. iPhone advantages above Android:

• Tight integration of hardware and software: quality native apps with great integration to compliment itns features
• Reliable and consistent software updates for 5-6 years
• Consistent performance, because Apple designed it’s hard and software. Not a reskin from an already existing operating system.

Android advantages over iOS: (high end)

• Cutting edge technology
• More camera features, better zoom.
• Open operating system, customisable UI
• Better display technology

I am a firm iPhone user, but I see both have their weaknesses aswell. The weakness will only show itself if you have it as a daily driver. The decision is in your camp, opinions have no value - user experience does. Bottomline: if you’re content about Android, there’s no real reason to swap out for an iPhone. If you’re open minded, and looking for something different, then it’s interesting to run to the nearest store and demo it. To experience.

Electronic devices are not investments. They are consumer goods. Any decent phone will last several years. The vast majority of people upgrade because they want the latest and greatest, not because their phones no longer work.

OP also has an apple watch which I think can change alarm behavior but I forget how to change it

Your next iPhone will be the 24

That's exactly what I'm saying. When you close the browser, safari will reopen private tabs from before, when you open it again. So if you are doing "research" it'll reopen those research private tabs.

I find it funny that Apple allows these types of apps but won’t properly implement this.

Could you please tell me the repro steps? I'm unable to reproduce this.

For me, it reopens the private tab even if I close Safari.

It used to be there prior to iOS 11 as it was easily accessible until iOS 11 was released around September of 2017.

But did you also know that the iPhone X was also released in late 2017 too? It has an OLED screen as well.

If you recall, high brightness could cause screen burn in for OLED screens if the user kept their display at the highest brightness possible for whatever reason.

Apple most likely made the Auto Brightness hidden under accessibility so that way users don’t ruin the OLED screen with the iPhone X and later. Otherwise there was no issues with iPhones with LCD screens at high brightness.

As for Auto Brightness being hidden away under Accessibility settings, here’s the link for the source.
