Hello. New to this sub and using iPhones in general.
I came from an S22 ultra to 11 pro max (wife’s old phone) to now having a 15 pro max.
I have used Samsungs all my life. And I can say with confidence that I used to thing there’s minimal, if any, difference hardware wise or any other matter. It’s just preference.
Using the 11 pro max was to just test the waters on ios and to be frank the experience was not great compared to the almost flagship S22 ultra.
But man is the 15 pro max something else. I don’t know just what it is but I am in love with a phone after a very long time.
Maybe it’s the novelty factor, maybe it’s what my wife calls “the iPhone charm”, or maybe something else.
Just wanted to ask other people who might have switched if they too feel the same and if yes, how do they describe this feeling.
Thanks.
P.s. I still have my S22 U for sentimental reasons and I’m not bashing any phone, just appreciating.
IMHO it’s two things.
First, the touch to screen response time.
How long it takes from the time your finger touches the screen to the corresponding action being seen.
Where talking about 50-60ms. It’s seems counterintuitive, but it makes a difference.
All iPhones rank really high in this. In fact most older iPhones are better than this generation’s (as these have some issues).
This is the result of two factors: the better screens (not so much at the pricier devices, but for mid tier it’s a crazy difference) and also the integrated development of the whole device.
The second is thing is the tools Apple provides for developers.
Android moved a ahead a lot in this matter, but it’s still tracking.
I’ll spare most of the details, but the apps developed for Android aren’t optimized to run in the processor directly, they use an intermediate state. iOS apps are compiled to be fully native for the processors they’re ran on.
This being better performance, hence faster response times, better animations, …
