Microsoft decided to kill Windows Phone.

Got bored of using Android for so many years. I still switch between iPhone and Samsung and currently I’m using the S23 Ultra, but I might switch back to iPhone because it has USB-C now.

iMessage

Pretty much just for the iMessage

The quality of iOS and its apps. Also because I’m used to it

Wanted to see how the other side lived, turned out I liked it.

It came to me in a dream.

Things done right

I need a working, synchronized, ecosystem that is safe, reliable and that does not steal my data (harvest). As long as Apple can provide that I will not even look at other solutions

I have a work-issued iPhone 11 and a personal Pixel 8 Pro.

iPhone has ergonomics and ease of use. Although I don’t use it much for anything other than camera, spotify, browsing, workplace management, and email. No real personal apps. Battery life is amazing for endless emails and photos. Surprisingly enough, we don’t integrate mac on any other mediums in the workplace.

I will say, the Pixel 8 Pro is not really living up to my battery expectations but it’s new and I haven’t given it much rest.

I use both the 15 pro and the Galaxy S23U. Prefer samsung as it has more customizable UI and various multitasking features. I can make my phone look and behave the way it’s most comfortable for me to use. It’s basically a computer in my hand.

iPhone is my work phone and would only recommend to someone who wants a basic phone which does all that a generic smartphone should do (and apple is very good at doing these things) and is not too techy. iPhones UI is smooth, has good battery backup, has great camera and everything that an average joe would need. All these are also true with any android nowadays but an average user won’t use all the features anyways and might confuse some non techy people.

Got good promotions from my carrier and then been getting free upgrades (except tax) every year so why not.

It is well designed, last longer, easy to use and all my other devices are apple (AW, Ipad, Iphone) so everything is syncronised together.

I like the device integration and the walled garden.

Why not?
