Long time IOS user, but tempted to make the switch to Android

 Hey Readers, 

I have used various iPhone and android models in the past, and swapped back n forth between models as new features came out. But that all changed in 2018 when I picked up the iPhone X. The phone had good battery life, was comfortable to hold, and kept up with my constant phone use. I wouldn't call myself a heavy user, but due to work emails, teams, Instagram, YouTube, investing apps, etc. I am on phone more than most. With the feature set and performance I wasn't tempted to switch until the iPhone 13 pro was released. 

In September I went ahead and picked up this new iPhone. You could definitely feel the weight and feature set of a more premium phone. But after the initial glamour wore off of purchasing a new device and seeing the changes in smoothness with the new 120hz display. It just felt kind of the same as my previous phone, with a slightly larger, screen snappier CPU, and huge cameras. 

Pros:

-Crisp display with 120hz pro motion 

-Great lens for macro photography 

-Average more than 7 hours of screen on time with this phone each day 

-Premium feeling device 

-Apple Eco System features (apple remote, air drop, airplay, iCloud drive) 

Cons:

-No game changing features in the last year 

-Still no battery % icon until IOS 16 release September 2022

-Still uses lightning cable

-Much slower charging compared to most flagship phones 

-UI has largely remained unchanged with the last couple versions of IOS 

Overall its a good device and if you want something you just wake up to and use throughout the day I have no complaints about my apple products. 

But with recent UI changes like on the pixel 6 with their material U interface, new customization options, I am looking at Android more and more lately. Even Samsung's most recent trio of devices One UI has some very interesting features and is starting to port over more of the eco system conveniences Apple has had for awhile now. 

Should I make the switch and try out a new eco system? Let me know what you guys think in the comments. 

Thanks for reading,
