You really should look into a pixel. I used to have Samsung, but switched to pixel and won't leave now.

Certainly not saying you’re wrong, as everyone has different “routine tasks”, but I haven’t really noticed anything. Any in particular off the top of your head?


I’m not the previous poster but my biggest frustration with the latest iOS update is extra steps to switch browser tabs.

Now I’m more confused than when I started. How has tab switching changed?

There is an extra tap before you see all the tabs. You have to hit the dots then select “all tabs”. Before I could just hit the icon at the bottom right of the screen and the tabs would appear. It’s not a big deal at all, just a little nuisance.

I think I remember what you’re talking about, and if so, that’s a setting toggle. Go into settings > apps > safari and scroll down until you see the “tabs” section. You’re likely on “compact”. “Top” is the classic setting. I’ve started using “bottom” because I find it’s easier to reach.

Like as basic as it gets . Like how to pull all the apps up to find the one I need. Right now I close all the open ones to get to em. Why aren't they'll just there on my background?
What?

a. That's a ton of clutter. Gross.

b. You can move them all to your background if you want...or whichever ones you want. You can also group them as you wish.

c. You should be able to pull up the apps relatively easily (not sure of your UI). On my pixel you just swipe up from the bottom.

I don't think you will regret making the switch to any flagship Android. I'm currently on the S25 Ultra and it's the best phone I've ever owned.

I would rank them:
S25 Ultra
Pixel 10 pro
OnePlus 13

S24 Ultra and it's the best i've had. Gonna get the S26 Ultra in January or Feb (whenever it releases). I really don't need to upgrade, but i've never had a phone for this long.

I'm not sure I'll upgrade until the z fold gets a bigger battery and faster charging. It will be hard to pass up especially as the software continues to improve

The problem with android is it can’t compete with the “ecosystem.” Everything syncs together beautifully on Apple devices.

Yes indeed! Open up the box, fire it up, and 30 seconds later every one of a dozen other apple devices you own are all synced to it.

And there they are. Not really understanding the app complaint here. Not only that, square button on bottom shows everything active.

Looking to move on from my 6. Should I go with a cheaper 9 or jump all the way to 10?

Well, that's 4 numbnutts and counting, that have never experienced how effortlessly Apple products sync with all other Apple devices you own.

I think people should just stick with what they are comfortable with. There's not a lot to be gained by switching from iOS to Android and vice versa.

The thing that I didn't particularly like with Android was annoyances like random glitching that would require a reboot, or sometimes the charging port wouldn't work right. (I think this may have to do with the inconsistencies with off-brand USB cables.)

The plethora of Android devices and accessories is a hindrance in a lot of cases more than a benefit. While it does provide for a cheaper up-front buy-in, it also means that no two users will have the same experience.

That's Apple's biggest strength. As long as you're buying Apple devices and accessories, then you're pretty much guaranteed to have the same exact experience.
