After many many years of drooling over it and dreaming about it, I got my first ever iPhone! This was a 13 year old dream come true and bought it during Diwali, the biggest festival here in India.

Sharing pic here, shot off a potato quality android :-P

Good for you buddy, Happy Deepawali! I also got mine on my birthday last month, a 15 plus 256 gb. Loving it! Switched from Android.

[–] Fair_Barnacle4557@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Congrats! You will easily see how iphone is the best phone!

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Yes :) some apps are just phenomenal. Especially this night sky photography app. The refined experience is something I missed badly on androids.

[–] IceTheBest@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Welcome to the cult! :)

[–] Reddit_is_snowflake@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks, Happy Diwali to you too bro!

[–] Ashamed_Estimate_276@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bet you win a lot of thumb wars

[–] Mmzstyles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Congratulations Now you’re never going to change back to android ever xD

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely! :D

[–] Arghya1999@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Welcome!!

[–] Zopotroco@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m super happy for you, I remember that emotion with my 5C

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I felt like a child again :P the emotions were definitely something!

[–] BobbyABooey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you for supporting an American company. 🇺🇸

[–] Temporary-Nobody-44@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m sure you will enjoy your fone! Once you go Apple, you will never go back 🤭

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

True! I can already see myself doing that :)

[–] Sudden-Airline-1330@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haa you have the wallpaper app as the background, same as me :P welcome to the club man. I bought mine around a month ago duriny the hdfc cred card discount. Loving it!

Try experimening with the ios 17, ypu will be surprised it has a lot of customisation than what most people give it credit for

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks a lot man! And congrats on your purchase too. I bought it on the Dhanteras day from the Apple Saket store in Delhi. Wanted one that day itself after my android started giving way too many troubles. I am yet to figure out most stuff. The first 2 days were admittedly a bit anxiety + frustration laden days because I just made the switch! I gotta experiment with it a bit more.

[–] AaronJoosep@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m glad you enjoy it!

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks!

Welcome to the gang g

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks!

[–] rockntalk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Welcome to the club, if you are impressed on the first go then it is difficult to convince you to go back to Android. And enjoy the VFM spread over more years compared to Android even though the initial cost is high.

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

True! The spread really evens out and you get the a better than premium experience too.

[–] MainCharacter007@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why did you buy the last years model? Have they not released the new ones in india?

Anyways idk what a diwali is but congrats

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Diwali is the festival of lights and one of the most important festival for Hindus.

The 15 was a bit too expensive for me honestly. The 14 felt like a better deal :) Just for a straight comparison sake, the price in Rupees is 69,900 from the official Apple Store. The equivalent US Dollar price is 848 odd. We have far too much taxation here, so the 14 made more sense.

[–] panda_heart97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How much it cost to you !?

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I bought directly from the Apple Store in Saket, New Delhi. Didn't want an online delivery :) so it costed me a little extra Rs. 69,900 in all but worth every paisa!

[–] treybeef@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I made the switch a few months ago and it’s the best phone ever made .

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Great to hear that!

[–] BestZeena@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it a mini?

[–] maxvoltage83@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No it's a regular iPhone 14. The angles make it seem like my hands are ginormous :D

[–] Bittersweetblossom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Congratulations, hopefully you enjoy it more than the suspense of saving up for it!

[–] unseen247@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ahh yes I remember that first time touching my own iDevice... nostalgic.

Enjoy this moment!

[–] jklx92@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s awesome! Congrats on getting your first iPhone! Very exciting!

[–] RepMajor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Enjoy bro!! Awesome feeling !!

Did you save up for a while , and than got it ?

[–] NormanAguia@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Welcome to the team, enjoy your new phone

[–] seira87@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Starlight is the prettiest color. It’s a shame it was removed from the current lineup. I have a starlight 14 too. It’s gorgeous. Enjoy your iPhone!

[–] SlickBotswaske@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Red_Holla04@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

276 AQI! Gurgaon? Also congrats of the iPhone!

[–] aipps@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Enjoy your iPhone.

[–] Simple_Magazine_3450@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I got my first iPhone in January. After 12 years with Android. Also switched from Windows to Mac (my first PC had Windows 95, I’m that old). So far it’s works great for me.

[–] SlashDog_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s nice! I recently got one myself, after my poco X3 pro dying on me

[–] SageRoku@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I got my very first iphone this week as well. 15 plus. Good phone and amazing battery life. Still use my s22 ultra at home since still can make calls while on wifi. Should be back and running once the carries fixes their issues with their new system. For the time being will keep using the 15 plus. It's pretty good overall

[–] bane_of_heretics@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cool! Welcome to the gang. Which model tho?

[–] oooooeeeeeoooooahah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yea most people who want to be spoon fed everything, have no freedom, overpay for apps, unable to use some apps, restricted to an ecosyste, Love the iphone.

Did you come from a nokia or something that was so garbage?

[–] kida182001@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I know the feeling of finally getting something you've been dreaming about for a long time. Don't mind the Debbie downers in the comments. Congrats!
