I used Move To iOS and it took 3 very long attempts (about 2 hours per try) between which I had to reset the iphone because WhatsApp officially only lets you try once. Very importantly, make sure both phones are plugged in and set to keep their screens on/never lock. If either phone locks or turns the screen off, it’ll hang. It’s a bit janky but I was very determined not to lose all my chats, since WhatsApp is the #1 thing I use my phone for. I suggest putting your sim in your old phone, making sure WhatsApp is up and running there, factory resetting your new iphone, and trying to make Move To iOS work for you. As far as I could make out, it’s the only official way.

I set mine to open Whatsapp - my most common action on my phone - but I never really use it. Always open to other suggestions.
The keyboard, obviously. The weight. I like fingerprint readers, but Face ID is fine.
The arms race nature of the competition means this isn’t the case. It’s just that everyone’s reaching the plateau of what this device/form factor can be and we’re waiting for the next big leap to arrive.
I just look for my reflection in the lenses, so the simpler answer would be a little mirror in the bump, curved to match the field of view of the main camera.
I’d prefer a fingerprint scanner to Face ID too
Nothing will ever project things in the air, sorry man.
Just from an RSI point of view, Android does gesture-back much better than Apple.
Having had Android phones with top-notch fingerprint scanners and now a 15PM for a month, I prefer the fingerprint scanners. Face ID is fine too, and it’s only a slight preference, but I would prefer an iPhone with touch ID (as long as it was in a sensible place - Androids tend to have it on the back where your finger naturally falls when you hold the phone, no need to reach for the screen)
It’s really baffling to (very deliberately) have no option in the camera app to turn off shutter sounds - as if it’s some kind of moral or legal requirement - but then allow you to turn it off globally via silent mode. It’s the single strangest UX decision on this thing.
