So, recently i just ordered myself a iPhone 7 Plus Matte Black 128GB. Waiting it to arrive tho.

Previously I'm using Android, Mi Note.

So before i switch, any suggestions or things i can expect?

Someone said it's troublesome in Apple where you can't do this do that.

No issues.

Just use back your Google login details on iOS. All contacts and calendar will sync back. Keep using Google services so later u can migrate back easily.

Backup whatsapp history before uninstall from Android and you need a special app to transfer the messages to IOS later.

It's the same as people forking out 6k rig but still playing pirated games.

Same to people forking out 120k cars but unwilling to pay for 1k car service.

My bad experienced, no more iphone only use Ipad Mini in case want to use apple aps, If no problem with extra budget, coz apple extra item little bit expensive compare with android. Most ori apple gadjet good in quality but don't compare the price. Most android apps free but not in ois.

The most painfull experienced for me in ios is to transfer song, movie & etc, unless you buy ori sofware in PC/Mac(prefer). No simple/easy method like android, even my android phone become my extra backup/portable drive with wireless/bluetooth transfer.

u can sync your contacts through Google Drive vice versa.

maybe u should use it for few days or weeks and let us know the experience.

Different people got different opinion. there are no right or wrong.

iPhone never failed me. thats all i can say lol

THIS. everything else can be transferred very easily (especially if you use google contacts, gmail, photos, keep etc). but while you can still use the same whatsapp account, transferring the chat history requires a paid app. im wondering if anyone here can share a free way to do it? iPhone to android can be done for free

Can i actually manual backup using Whatapps itself?
Then i just install my new whatapps to my new iPhone then it should be able to detect previous backup, isn't it?

I cannot afford to lose my whatapps contacts, message tho. Picture is fine.
