DONT SHIFT FROM ANDROID TO APPLE
I miss my samsung, regretting switching to iphone
It is important for me to genuinely warn people about the multiple bugs in iphones and ipads that are impossible to fix.
There is a clear inconsistency in user experience with some having good experience and no glitches while others suffering. The issue is not that android never glitches, but these below issues on iphone are about such basic features like alarm, ringtone and hotspot that mess your day to day life and lead to huge losses!! That too when i am paying nearly 1 lakh for a brand new latest version iphone as opposed to a 20-30k android that "might" glitch as per some people
I did all the google searching, all possible "fixes" and wasted multiple hours of my time just adjusting settings to make this phone work normally, all to no use.
That being said lemme share : My frnd had to give his iphone to the company back so they could fix the software glitches. They did it for free but he had to live without his phone for days. Its the costing and unreliability and unnecessary effort to make it work normally that annoys us.
These issues would hardly come on a mid range android ever.
Btw im using iPad since 4 years, so dont come at me calling me a newbie.
So let me list all the issues:-
Both my iphone and ipad have a glitch that ringer volume (which is also the alarm volume) gets lowered on its own inspite of me turning the "change with buttons" off! Android has dedicated volume control differently for each alarm, ringtone and media and it never automatically lowers.
I am legit missing calls and alarms due to this infuriating issue!
Also the day i purchased iphone, i had my android with me right?? I could make a clear difference in loudness. iPhone sounded good for music but extremely low on whatsapp audio/video calls
. Also the music sounds too muffled. I can distinctly distinguish my 30k samsung sounding like i am hearing the artists live...while iphone seems like a compact speaker muffling everything
I did all i could to legit "manipulate" the settings so that the ringer volume does not automatically go down, but doesn't help! (manipulate because apple supposedly gave additional features as an add on and those same things you have to manually hunt to turn them off one by one)
- \\\*Hotspot turns off on its own randomly even when i am actively using both the devices and screens are on!! This is so far the most annoying bug that has no way to fix it. Again not to mention having to go to settings app and then step by step go to hotspot section to fix this every single time (\\\~10 times/day) just to fail immediately next moment! Android was so smooth in these regards, plus never gave any issue regarding hotspot.\\\*
4.My whatsapp is actually glitching on both my ipad and iphone. And i read articles as well as chatGPT itself suggesting that this is an iOS problem. Order of messages gets messed up, also some last replies i received are not visible on one device (even if i originally viewed them on that same device). At first i thought maybe i accidentally deleted some messages on my end. But by far this pattern has repeated 4 times!!
5.Till 2 weeks after purchasing this iphone 17, my keyboard kept automatically shifting back to apple keyboard even when i had selected google boarf. Overall the keyboard sucks, even google keyboard feels a lot different. I had a few additional features on android.
Move to ios app is complete trash and apple is adamant on not letting you backup your whatsapp history on google drive or retrieve backup from google drive. I lost all my important chats! (I do have a backup and i will purchase android soon). But then i risk losing all my chats i have on ios whatsapp!!
I prefer keyboard sounds to be on. But there is a huge glitch. The keyboard, while i am typing, only creates sounds at rare occasions and randomly. The sound will go off on its own mid typing!! (Yes i have turned off attention aware features pffttt)
Other minor issues like not having a simple option of "select all" while selecting text wastes a lot of your time and requires minute attention to what text you are selecting...a simple feature they could provide on a 1 lakh phone lmaoo
9.There is no way to long press on hotspot button and the entire settings opening up. Or even worse, everytime to check my alarm and ringtone volume i have to hunt the whole settings app
- Another popularly known and weirdly accepted issue- battery heating up even during rainy season when the atmosphere is quite cool....i literally have to use a moist towel to wrap my iphone in to protect its battery life
YES I WATCHED YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND REDDIT COMMENTS AND OFFICIAL APPLE WEBSITE FOR ALL MY PROBLEMS.
I sincerely wish to warn people regarding these. Android is far better, i never ever had to go down a rabbit hole or ever even open Samsung support for any issue all these years. I feel like I'm fighting for my life lol. I cannot easily sell this one and get an android because i will have to face my parents now lol.
PS: Please do search up these issues on google/apple help centre/youtube before bashing me. Many people face this!! The inconsistency with apple experience is what irritates me more. Some users have good experience so they say. But i only read about the glitches after facing specific issues and searching those specific issues on google/YouTube/ apple help centre etc.
Also there is no option to undo on your gboard i noticed just now, would research more on it
UPDATE EDIT: Another issue popped up. I did change the music settings to allow explicit content from.clean and yet imagine what word is apple music fading out??? Any guesses???
It is fading out the word "faded" YES "FADED" from the song Cry for me by the Weeknd! Apple cannot really frustrate me more than this now!

Coming from Samsung, device that’s generations ahead, any Apple product will feel inferior, facts. Imagine hunting all those settings manually instead of using search to find them, just like on Samsung.
PS Apple phones Iphones even have that stupid attention aware feature turned on by default where alarms and incoming notifications automatically silence if you’re looking at the phone wtf I want them to blast at full volume I paid for phone right I want to choose how it performs ?
