I got an iPhone 7 2 years ago (then-new), precisely because I was fed up with Android. But mostly I'm quite disappointed.
Better privacy settings are great, it is so much easier to lock down permissions (though I hear Android has gone a long way). Everything else is worse.
Performance was OK, but now is so-so, phone definitely feels very slow from time to time, or Safari randomly crashing. Some websites will reload a bunch of times then crash completely. Typing is so much worse, autocorrect is more like auto-typo, compared to what I'm used to (which surely mined text data from my and everyone's phone but so be it). App availability for general stuff seems worse.
I wanted to like my iPhone, but don't, and I'm likely to go back to Android when this one finally dies.
- ivank 5y agoThe Safari crashes can sometimes be fixed by rebooting the phone. Otherwise they happen much less frequently on an iPhone with at least 3GB RAM (7 has 2GB). The autocorrect can be fixed by using Gboard instead. I don't know why Apple can't make their iPhone keyboard work right.
