Why do iPhones “feel” better? - eviltoast

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.

    Its boring. In a good way. Jumped from S21 to 14Pro as well last year. There’s so much to tinker around my S21, too many customizations to think of.

    When I did the jump to 14Pro, I set everything up in less than an hour. Everything is so simple, straightforward, and void of unnecessary customization, less decision fatigue. iOS is too smooth. Not to mention airpods are so seamless (got one 3months after buying the 14pro) and other quality of life features such as airdrop, imessage, FaceTime is plain good.

    Still use both phones today. Iphone as my daily driver, and the s21 mainly for mobile hotspot (hotspot is problematic on iOS lol), android auto, and from time to time browse/message on it when I leave my iPhone charging.
