Hello. New to this sub and using iPhones in general.

I came from an S22 ultra to 11 pro max (wife’s old phone) to now having a 15 pro max.

I have used Samsungs all my life. And I can say with confidence that I used to thing there’s minimal, if any, difference hardware wise or any other matter. It’s just preference.

Using the 11 pro max was to just test the waters on ios and to be frank the experience was not great compared to the almost flagship S22 ultra.

But man is the 15 pro max something else. I don’t know just what it is but I am in love with a phone after a very long time.

Maybe it’s the novelty factor, maybe it’s what my wife calls “the iPhone charm”, or maybe something else.

Just wanted to ask other people who might have switched if they too feel the same and if yes, how do they describe this feeling.

Thanks.

P.s. I still have my S22 U for sentimental reasons and I’m not bashing any phone, just appreciating.

    This is never ending argument, from both sides.

    Comparing technical features is one thing. Comparing “feel” is very subjective.

    I say, if you enjoy iphone, then good for you. If you enjoy android, then good for you. If you enjoy paper mail, then good for you.

    We each have own reason or two to buy/use anything. We weigh pros/cons, then take action.

    I’m curious what led you to such differing opinions about the 11 Pro Max and 15 Pro Max?

    I ask this as a 11 Pro user who has not felt a need to upgrade, and of course there’s always an itch to upgrade, but my 11 Pro still works as good as new, other than the usual degradation of better health.

    Wait till it starts doing random shit like not holding notifications on the notifications center etc. I love my 14 pro too and it’s just…easy. But they still haven’t figured them out as androids have and siri is the worst when you come out of the google assistant

    on he plus side, most of the apps work better on iphones. seem more optimized there than android but the notifications is the most frustrating thing ever

    A hardware advantage they have is that iPhones have the fastest response time between input and screen response so it feels better to just touch and do anything. This was about 3ish years ago though so I’m not sure if the competition has caught up yet or not

    Yea novelty for sure. It’s just nice to try something different. Year after year we get the same black slabs, nothing is new.
