3 Months ago I purchased an iPhone after using Samsung phones for a long time. I made a post in here about my new adventure and some of the things that I would miss from Android and some of the things I was looking forward to in iOS.

Here are my thoughts after 3 months of use.

​

What I still miss from Android:

• Always on Display. (I thought apple would introduce this on iPhone 12, with all models being OLED)
• Android Gboard keyboard (The layout, prediction and auto-correct is way better on Android)
• Chrome on Android is way better.
• Face ID is ok, I still prefer the fingerprint sensor. (Sometimes it doesn't recognize my face and brings up the pin screen and when I'm about to enter the pin it suddenly recognizes me and unlocks. Happens maybe 30% of the time)
• Still haven't found a calendar app/widget like the Samsung calendar widget. Here is a screenshot
• I miss the Android notifications system. (Paired with AOD)
• File system/Folders. iOS combines all pictures from messages, whatsapp, messenger, camera, chrome downloads. I sincerely hate this. Is there a workaround to save pictures from certain apps to specific folders?

​

Things that are better than Android:

• Almost all the apps are better and more polished on iOS
• Even at 60hz its very smooth and no lag or stutter. (Which I used to experience on brand new Samsung phones)
• More app availability. (But still no Dark Sky in Canada)
• iMessage, My contacts use a mix of whatsapp, Messenger, and iMessages. Now I can be part of iMessage groups too.

Things I still need help with or finding apps:

• Well one is still the Calendar widget
• Is there a replacement for pushbullet yet? I used to send a lot of pictures from my laptop to my Android phone using pushbullet. It was so easy too. while I was browsing Reddit or something I would right click on the image and click "send to my phone". It would be on my phone. Is there anything like this for windows?

My biggest gripe was that I would miss the "back" gesture/button from Android. For the first couple of weeks It was hard to get used to not having a back button, but after three months. I only miss it like 10% of the time. I've gotten used to iOS gestures pretty easily.

One of the things I found out that hitting the power button ends the call. If I was on speaker phone, I would always hit the power button to turn off the screen on my Galaxies but I wasn't aware that on iPhones it ends the call. I thought I was dropping the calls, until it hit me lol.

​

I think I would probably stick with iPhone for now and maybe even the 13 if it has major changes.
