Ppl that migrating from Android, what features/things that you missed in Android not available in Iphone?

Thinking to switch but still considering as been using Android for as long as i can remember, the last iphone i used was 3gs.
I need dual sim and due to iphone has dual sim now so thinking to switch.

you do know that dualsim for iphone doesnt mean you can stick 2 sim cards into the iphone

damn.. we are the same.. my last iphone was 3GS as well. but now that i've migrated to iphone 12 mini. below is my list:

face id: it's just stupid - so many miss and ended up i have to type in passcode half of the time. No fingerprint sensor is just ridiculous.
shortcuts: in android everything seems to be easily accessible, not for iphone everything has to start with "settings" utter rubbish.
battery percentage: everytime i want to check i have to scroll down from the right, no it's not an option for 12 mini to display the battery percentage in/beside the bar.
keyboard: their keyboard is just pathetic, i only have swiftkey as my next option. I still prefer swype or best androids own keyboard.
bugs: those who told you no bug in iphone - that's just bullshit. in our website, we had been struggling to fix something prior to ios 14. Thank god they release 14.4 and it solve our mystery. Also my favourite manga site has some freeze screen occasionally which i don't encounter when i'm using my android phone.
auto adjust brightest: though on auto... i still have to manually adjust it day and night. night time - too bright, day time too dim.. damn it.. I did not know in 2021 auto brightness adjustment could be an issue! PS: i'm not using any glass to protect the screen as well so don't blame it on tempered glass.
My Sejahtera scan super fast = bullshit, sometimes it's not detecting as well.
Installing app process is rubbish, you have to reconfirm pressing power button twice, sometimes face id scan, if can't you have to key in password to confirm. They should just do it only for payment.

Good stuff about iphone 12 mini.
the form factor, there is no other flagship with this form factor. so good to hold in hand. comfortable.
quality, phone is really well made even when compared to androids flagship. They really did not skim on the glass and panels.

i can't think of any usability / practicality where my iphone triumphs over android unfortunately. Also i just get to know IOS 14 was actually a major improvement with their implementation of widgets and some other features. I can't imagine if they do not have them.

Still have?

Couple of important things to note: -

- If you have years of WhatsApp history, moving over to iPhone from Android will mean you will lose all the history unless you transfer via a paid software.

- Dual SIM in iPhone relies on one e-SIM and one physical SIM card, and not 2 SIM cards, unless you get certain iPhone models from China, Hong Kong or Macau

Having regularly switch between Android phones and iPhones, my advice to friends who ask the same question you asked is that it’s probably best not to switch unless you have a compelling reason to switch like for example due to work purposes, use iCloud sharing services with family, or if you have other Apple products and want a seamless integration of your devices.

I just switch over form android as well. Last iPhone was the same model as yours, 3GS.
The "PITA" moments are:
-Keyboard
-Battery indicator (%,) well in another way it's a good thing to train me not to worry too much about the % number, just charge when the bar is less than half.
-Whatsapp is a pain to transfer over from Android, need to use paid apps. And to backup on iOS, you got to either backup to iCloud(paid) or to your iTunes on your PC/Mac as frequent as you desire.
-Screen refresh rate could be higher, but current 60hz is not a deal breaker.

The good stuff:
-Snappy! (well, it's an unfair comparison though, switching from Huawei P20).
-Very nice screen and photoshoot, much natural colour compare to my old phones.
-Apple eco-system - finally can fully utilize my iPad Pro 11 nicely already.

iPhone now has widgets capability, so you can place a battery one on your home screen. Can choose the one which will also show other connected devices like bluetooth earpiece too.

I switched to ip12. From 11 years of android user. Im hardcore android user with all exp rooting n flashing n name it. Every action on android i done. Bricked it. Unbricked it.
Tbh, my biggest pain are
1. No enter to send in chat like wasap
2. How pain to transfer no phone from text to call, especially with no call link

I understood some wasap chat can’t be transfer via free software. My fren spent almost 200 for paid software, i used his.

Have u watched “mrwhosetheboss” video. He stated using ipone not about soec. Its abt exp.
tbh, i never worry abt my Battery

in general, in my opinion, it seems to me that android is better and more convenient

Thinking of switching as well, but holding out for iphone 13 hoping it would have always on display, fingerprint scanner, and usb type C. I think those are the things that i would miss the most

1. AOD - will come with update
2. FPR - 90% apple won’t going backwards. Faceid easily broken with non genuine lcd replacement. If ip still got fpr, ppl don’t mind using faceid failed
3. TypeC. They wont sacrifice lightning as their mfi money

Only most painful is whatsapp chats unable to transfer.

Still hopeful of FPR n type C, coz their new ipad have them

from the latest leak, nope. they stick with lightning

Ok la that one still ok since now got many 3in1 usb cable.

But looks like its still a long way for me to switch coz just bought s21 ultra

congrats for new device. like that need to wait iphone 14/15 la to migrate.

Yup. Hopefully by then all my wishlist will be on the new iphone

Apple runs android apps better .

Tru setori

The keyboard dont have ., at qwerty.

Other than that, nothing else i miss.

Best part from android user to ios is ads. My god the amount of unsolicit accidental allowed or not webpage notification is highly annoying in android. No left left swift is google “commercial recommendation”
