[–] kalipike@lemmy.one 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I love the iPhone hardware. Especially the mini. But I really don't like iOS. Or the lightning connector. Same thing with Macs. Overall I think Apple makes gorgeous hardware but the software just isn't for me. I always tell people the best phone (or best one iPhone vs Android) is whatever is best for them. My wife loves her iPhone and everything about it, and that's okay! permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baleygr@beehaw.org 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Agreed. Also their hardware and software integration, long term support, and battery when compared to other flagship phones, although the s23 seems to be on par with iPhones this time around. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kalipike@lemmy.one 1 point 3 years ago Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem. I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently. permalink fedilink source parent
