Just switched to iPhone, not sure if I made a mistake? (alien.top)

I have been an Android users for as long as I can remember. The idea of an iPhone with USB C and a nice Titanium build was too hard to resist. I went for a 15 Pro, now I am questioning whether I made a mistake. For reference I switched from a S23 Ultra, mainly because it’s just way too big.

I love this iPhone but for how much it costs it has some massive inconveniences. These include the massive pain of file transfers to and from PC, poor notification management and no universal back button like there is on Android. Everything thing else I like, the small form factor is so nice in the hand, Face ID is amazing, all apps just work well and video recording quality is god tier.

I guess this is directed mainly to people who switched from Android, do you get used to these inconveniences or not? I am still within my 14 day return period and am torn between returning the phone or just sticking with it?

I'd return it., and go back to android. been an iphone user for nearly 10yrs, I will probably switch over to android when my current Iphone 12 dies. I just hate how everything is so restricted and overpriced ..and how behind they are when it comes to features that other phones have had for years! Seriously how many times can you sell a phone with a "nice camera"? I absolutely refuse to buy a phone just based on one feature-camera or otherwise!!

I've been android since android came out and for the last decade or so the only reason I ever upgrade is for better cameras. Android hasn't changed much in a long time. Anyways, I'm trying iphone in a couple days for the first time. Hopefully it goes better for me than op.
