God damn it… I’m actually liking using the iPhone. This is unacceptable.
Turns out they’ve come a long way in the 11 years since I used one. Face ID for auth inside apps (not just for unlocking the phone) is a game changer. Plus app devs have clearly put just a little more love into iOS apps then their Android counterparts. It’s nothing major, just little things but they’re noticeable. I also love the haptics. The screen and sound seem better too.
My 2 annoyances so far are that it’s a regular iPhone 15 which feels a bit small in my bear-paw and I fumble with it and CarPlay (which does look excellent in my car) doesn’t have the ability to have media controls on the screen at the same time as full screen Waze like Android Auto does. Having both on the screen at the same time uses way too much screen to show the media controls but that might because my screen is portrait rather than landscape. Probably looks fine in landscape on those wide screens you get in new cars.
Anyway ffs I wasn’t supposed to almost prefer it over my Android phone.
