iPhone vs Android

I was using Android for many years and switched to iPhone few weeks ago.

What I miss on iPhone

  • When I set alarm, I do not get notification how long it will take until the alarm will fire.
  • When timer on Adroid ends it shows notification and it starts a stopwatch inside notification so I know how long after I turned it off. It has two buuttons close and restart timer. On iPhone it just shows that time is off.
  • Calendar widget - if I want bigger widget I need to have it full with. On Android I have tall widget just on one half of the screen and I can scroll over events even go to other day without opening calendar app
  • When connecting to bluetooth I need to go to menu and choose a device
  • No usb-c, just lightning port
  • No notifications in the top bar. I miss a lot of them as they are only on the top of app icon or in the lock screen, where I try to delete them fast.
  • (Loop habit tracker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits) on Android is free and OSS and better than the paid trackers on iPhone

What is cool on iPhone

  • Bluetooth stability and quickness of connect
  • NFC quickness of payment
  • Face works very well even in night
  • Notifications are not shown when the phone is locked (mixed feelings)
  • Receive call on my Mac or after I received a call on iPhone I can transfer it to Mac
  • Copy-paste sharing with Mac
  • In the top left corner I have button to return to application I was in before
  • When I long press space I can move my cursor over the text. It is so much better then to do it on text, which is also possible
  • Live Text - ability to copy text from photos. And it recognizes English perfectly!
