Hey guys , I feel compared to Android , iOS is kinda addicted to use , especially the apps, interface and overall ecosystem of Apple. Does anyone ever felt like the same ?

    Cuz everything is better in iOS, that’s an undisputed truth, everything looks better, everything works better, everything feels better, everything sounds better.

    Android is catching up lately, and I certainly hope it does, because competition is good for the users.

    I wouldn’t say the iPhone per se is addictive - it’s the smartphone in general.

    Probably most of the world owns at least a smartphone these days, and it keeps us connected to stuff we do all day - phone calls (a lot of people don’t have landlines anymore), social media, email, running a quick web search for something, etc.

    The iPhone / Android is the brand you prefer to use.

    For me, I’ve always been on iPhone, but I’ve had to assist customers and colleagues with issues on their Androids over the years. Any smartphone is easy enough to figure out the basics, no matter which brand you own; I just don’t care for Android’s UI that much. I like the way iOS handles things better. Is it perfect? Of course not. Are there features from Android that would be nice to have? Sure. There’s also being on an ecosystem and having spent a lot of money buying apps over the years that tends to keep me from switching, even if I wanted to.

    It’s an omen of good taste and welcoming into the life of an extraordinary gentlemen, also you may now understand why a small percentage of women show no interest in men that use non iPhones.

    I disagree. I recently switched to iPhone 15 Pro Max from Samsung S22 Ultra. I thought my Samsung was more addictive. I definitely liked it better. There are endless things to tinker with on Android.

    I find android to more addictive. You have the freedom of customization with just about anything you want. I actually prefer using iPhone because I don’t use it as much because it’s boring lol.

    Feel the exact opposite everytime I pick up my partner’s iphone (13pm). The keyboards (tried all, incl swiftkey and gboard) are such a repulsive force for me. I just have to throw it back everytime I have to type a bit. How can anyone find ios keyboards anywhere close to intuitive.?

    The only thing that kind of holds me in is the Shortcuts app. Kinda like playing around with it.

    I happily give up some customization for optimization. I know all my apps will work and are built for a smaller line of iOS devices than thousands of different android models from tons of companies.

    On Apple “it just works” and they worth more to me.

    Maybe because this is your first time using an iPhone or even an Apple device. After a couple of days the novelty will wear off and your usage will come back down to normal.

    Vice versa for me, I use to have an android and would have screen time of like 12 hours, with iPhone things like safari and keyboard piss me off so I think twice before picking it up, cut my screen time in half pretty much so I’m happy to now be an iPhone user

    Android is more fun to try out all the free stuff, plus side loading is super fun.
    iPhone i like the quality of the apps better… but my phone is barely played now.

    When I switch to apple I had a blast for the first year trying all the new stuff to me.
    Now… it’s just a camera, phone and chat machine

    Passed to iPhone (14 promax) some weeks ago from a glorious redmi11

    I feel like the user experience is so much more comfy and fluid, addictive if you play games i guess?
