I am a sucker for music and i listen to it all the time, and i am very impressed by the Sound quality of speakers on my Iphone 13. They sound like a mini sound bar. I can hear the low end very well and it gives a great output. I also admire the display and consistency in UI. Apart from this, the audio recording quality is also amazing. You can record a song on your iphone and the Quality of vocals is better than my USB condenser mic worth 4k INR. What do you like about Iphones.

The camera is very reliable especially for video

The software is smooth and lag free it’s very well optimised

I switched quite recently to IOS and I have no regrets

They get the job done. And they tend to last longer and be more reliable than even the highest end android phones.

[–] mr9t9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apple has currently best hardware and software. But Samsung is really close to them with the s23ultra. Maybe in feb24 things can change.

Its the best phone for me to play games on. Does not overheat, great frame rate and smooth gameplay.

Using 15 pro max

95% of the time they always work yes it has its moments it might glitch but I know my iPhones in and outs and I know if my life depended on it I can trust it.

[–] etang77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I can’t mess around with anything.

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

Yes, the speakers are very nice. When I switched to an iPhone from my midrange Android I would randomly play a song just to hear the speakers. I always liked the way you can customize the double and triple tap on the back of the phone, and triple click of the power button. I currently have the triple click set to reduce the dark point and the triple tap on the back to turn the display to grayscale.

Camera, ios, famiy set up, overall build quality. My flip 4 already making noises when I “flip” it. 🥲

The things I love about iPhone are MagSafe, Portrait mode, screen calibration. Unfortunately, however, there are also serious drawbacks compared to Android, such as the lousy keyboard, slow animations, fake browsers, lack of a universal backward method, and more.

[–] rb928@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

MagSafe is fantastic!

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

The software

[–] wegwerfkonto19@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I had android phones before my 11pro. The thing that makes me happy is stability. It just works. If something stops working there’s an update and it Carries on working. No faffing around. Easy to use. Good photos too. Also I love that it just work seamlessly with my Apple Watch. I haven’t had a phone longer than 6 months to a year. I’ve had this phone almost 3 years now. I’m thinking of getting a 15pro but not changing to android any time soon.

iPhone 6 to iPhone X sound was a great improvement.

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

My first phone was the Samsung S8+, had an awful experience with Samsung Repair Centre. Then I had the Z Flip 1 which was fine but not exactly the best battery life. Things got worse as I was refused a battery replacement within warranty period due to Samsung's limited manufacturer's warranty. Basically, Samsung's own warranty in Asia wasn't recognised in Europe. This became a huge pain and cause of stress for me whilst studying for the Bar in UK. Currently have the 14PM, and I gotta say the stability is much appreciated. For those of us with a limited budget unable to constantly change phones yearly, the stability in terms of phone performance and after sales service is appreciated. I now have a phone that I know just works and if something goes wrong? Just book a Genius appointment and walk into my nearest Apple Store or Official Reseller. When you're aging, and need to be focusing more on work and your life, having a phone that just works and an almost guaranteed standardised level of after sales service is everything!

Resale Value and durability

[–] chatnoire89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not much an audiphile so can't comment on that. I guess it sounds nice but my phone is almost always silent and I watch videos on my iPad..

What I like about iPhone, specifically mine is the screen. So clear, crisp, and smooth. Granted I moved from Note9 (5+ years old) so pf course technology advanced. But I just love it.

Since it's new too, I like the battery life and how it's only warm when used for gaming. I charged my phone yesterday at 81% and until now (1.5 days later) it sits at 40% with light use. Truly an upgrade. For now. 😂

I’m a sucker for music as well, but i never played music on my iphone, either a speaker or headsets, but what I admire about iphones the most is the simplicity and the aesthetic of it. I’m aware android phones offer alot of customization but that’s not my thing, i like my phone simple, it’s not some god damn canvas that ill be staring at and admiring how many widgets and flashy things on the screen

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

Concur with this answer, well put.

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

I love all the Apple only apps. Notes, Reminders, Pages, Apple Maps (superior to Google maps), iMessage. Also, Apple shortcuts cuts are amazing!

It just works!

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

The price stability. The simplicity. The display. The excellently well-optimized apps. The camera integration into social media apps.

I've been there since the iPhone 3G and have always used Samsung Androids at the same time and have to say that I've always felt more drawn to Apple iPhones.

I have an S23 and have to say that the apps are not nearly as well optimized as on the iPhone, especially social media apps.

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

Yeah and I’d like to add that they can go reaaaaally loud. On my previous Samsung S20 I always had the volume on the upper part of scale, now on iPhone 15 it’s always on the lower part because on the upper part it really becomes like a mini sound bar.

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

I can only speak for the SE (2022) at my last job and my Mom's 13 Pro Max. I'm a Pixel 8 Pro main driver myself. I like the hardware design. I also get some satisfaction from organizing the phones to how I think I would use them most easily depending on my needs at the moment. I treat it like an organization activity with a little challenge (every app snaps to the left of the screen).

I bought an iPhone over 10 years ago cause all my friends had one. That was back in the 4s days. I have used an iPhone ever since and honestly I love the solid software updates, iMessage and FaceTime are big since I’m American, and generally app support is better.

Now with Apple making phones with usb c, putting RCS in the OS with side loading to some degree, it will really help blur the line for a lot of folks.

Conversely Google have started making their own custom silicone and I use a Pixel 7 for work and that thing is freaking fast. But Apple put their own custom silicone first so I guess this is an Android move to what iPhone has been doing.

Naturally there’s a lot to love about my iPhone but it’s really just a tool at the end of the day and I don’t think much about it. It’s there when I need it.

My top 1 reason is how safe they are, and that's why I'm really disappointed with and worried about that latest EU decision

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

Let me side-load little bro

[–] mr9t9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What decision?

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

why would you be? Just don't install any alternative app store and you're good!

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

The home button

[–] shigella212@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The experience ngl. Whatever it does it does great. Whatever it doesn't do great it falls flat on. The highs don't get marred by the lows and that's what is good about it.

Im using both android and iPhone and i gonna say, iPhone have an amazing battery life, great video quality camera and software updates

[–] Glad_Struggle5283@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The fluidity of transitions of what is on display and no lag. That’s just about it. I’d be glad to stay in android if it could do the same thing.

[–] mads_61@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I realize this is exactly what non Apple users hate about Apple users lol but I love how easily iPhones play with other Apple devices. I have an Apple TV that I use for streaming, if I want to cast from my phone to the TV it is so easy. I can send and receive calls and texts through my Macbook.

Granted, it’s been about 5 years since I last had an Android, but my iPhones have typically lasted much longer than my Android phones. I was lucky to get a year of use out of them.

Not bloated with crappy apps I can’t uninstall like the Samsung phones. I owned S22 for 4 hours and then got an iPhone.

[–] jamnewton22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I dunno. They just work. Great cameras and screens too

[–] Cherrymoon20@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The fit and finish and fluidity. I really do like Android phones, I think they are cool and packed with nice features and customization. Especially the Samsungs.

But the iPhone just works. It has a level of polish that I really have never seen an android reach before. My immediate family and close circle of friends are all on iPhone, so having seamless iMessage and FaceTime is great. My family is setup with location tracking. I’m able to freely troubleshoot issues and questions my non tech savvy parents have.

The apps just work better. Everything from the media and sound, banking, shopping, utility, it’s all just simply better.

I like that if I’m ever in a dire situation I can go to an Apple Store for assistance, and also that apple’s customer device is actually good. I’ve always heard horror stories from Samsung or google for instance.

The only thing I like better about Android is the ability to drag and drop files using a computer. My workaround on iOS is using OneDrive. But that’s okay for me.

I’m not even a big Apple fan myself. The only other Apple device I have are AirPods for exercising. But they got the phone right.

[–] Any_Mood2248@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Design of phone and minimalistic interface.I had iphone 5C green it was best looking phone i ever saw best grip but i had no choice other than buying new phone bcs no more support for apps,so i bought iphone 7 last year and it was kinda bad like worst grip ever it was so thin so i bought 12 mini after using old phones i was stunned because of Face id,oled screen and ios 16-17.(sorry if my English is bad)

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

Just two things

Iphone can record at 25FPS and very few Android phones can.

iCloud will backup EVERYTHING.

[–] Rider2403@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I switched from s23 ultra to the 14pm and now 15PM, I'm never going back to android, iphones just work, no random BS, no tinkering, no unexpected crashes, no malware filled apps in the appstore front page, camera is always amazing, sound is also always amazing, the products are just so good I made the entire switch to apple devices. I'm just so sick of being a perpetual beta tester for MS and Google

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

Build quality is extremely good. I’ve had Pixel phones, Oneplus phones, and Samsung and very few come close to the quality that the iPhone has.

iMessage is also great. I’m included in over 10 different group chats where I can talk and engage with many people whereas when I had Android my group chat was a mess of a situation.

[–] AFB27@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The interface is just so easy to use. Example, when I switched to the 11 from my 8+ I thought I would hate not having a home button and fingerprint scanning.

Now I can't imagine life with one and without Face ID.
