Never in my case. I live in one of the biggest cities in the US. 5G speeds easily range from 300Mbps - 600Mbps.
I couldn’t get it to work on my 12PM or 13PM, but it works great on my 15P. I have no clue why.
I use both. I typically have a Pixel and iPhone. IMO the features at this point are really on par with each other. There’s not a huge difference. However, I will point out a few benefits of iOS over Android.
iOS apps are WAY more polished, smooth, and just work better.
On an iPhone I can get any Google app I want and still use all the iOS apps. On Android, I get all the Google apps, but only a couple of Apple apps.
The ecosystem on Apple is unparalleled. I mean, my Mac, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch, and iPhone work flawlessly together in a way no Android set up can.
I am using a 15 Plus. I know screen off is accurate in my case as I was listening to podcasts still using battery. I’ve seen people with 14 series and with the 15 PM show screen idle. Why would the 12, 13 series, and the 15, 15 Plus show screen off while the 14 series and 15 Pros show idle? Is there a setting that changes this? Just curious.
RCS is a level up from SMS. It allows for full resolution photos and videos between iPhone and Android users. It also provides end-to-end security. It will also show typing indicators and read receipts between iOS and Android.
No one wants to call you.
Every OEM would tell you no two batteries are the same. One may technically be 103% and another 99%. There is no science to have them be exactly 100%. With that being said, if it showed under 100% at purchase, Apple would have done an exchange.
Edit: for reference, I’ve had mine for 26 days and have 18 cycles. Mine shows 100%. It’s just the luck of the draw.
TBF, you do get the Apple suite of office products, Maps, Mail, Safari, and others free. They have to cut you off at some point and make money on their services.
I did the math on this the other day. It only comes out to about $2.75 a month over two years that you need to save to purchase a new battery from Apple. With that being said, just use and enjoy your phone how you wish. It’s cheap to replace a battery. Chances are you will trade in or sell it before you need to replace it.
Don’t close out of an app. Just swipe to home and you will see it in the DI. It works for things like Uber, Lyft, timers, podcasts, YouTube, music, and even some restaurants when you order food. I love it.
I use a camera protector, screen protector, and keep my MagSafe wallet on the back. I’ve thought about a skin.
I have ADHD and it’s not at all distracting.
I never use the ringer because I always have my AirPods or Apple Watch with me. I get notifications on both.
