I gave my best to try Android because I thought it’s the same but it only seems like it. Everything is more optimized and fluid on iPhone. Apps are on another level, I’m not hating Android but I tried S24U and experienced several bugs from time to time, spotify and facebook loading - had to restart the app, missed notifications on telegram and other chat apps. Camera shutter lag is real, blurry photos when I needed to shot something fast in the moment, honestly my iPhone camera is way better and consistent - point and shoot.

Fingerprint scanner was very unpleasant experience to use instead of super fast Face ID in any given situation. Everything is so uniformed in iOS starting from the font to the native apps and how they are integrated in the system. I liked the 120hz refresh rate but I can have that in 16 Pro.

Updates? People are still waiting for Android 15 (One UI 7) on S24U while my almost 6 year old iPhone is getting ‘up to date’ updates and is not forgotten like S23 and the series below that model. Even when they get it’s always poorly optimized and you never know what is going to happen to the battery life. I’ve seen my friend is constantly charging his S22U and gets 3 hours screen on time with light usage.

I patched ReVanced and had free YouTube and YT Music for free and that’s the only thing I will miss from my failed try to transit to Android.

I choose to stay in the prison of Apple and have this fluent and promised experience. Sold the S24U and I’m reborned to be back on my old iPhone 11 Pro Max. Now the question is, should I buy iPhone 16 Pro or wait for iPhone 17 Pro?
