I switched from Android to iOS for the first time ever last month (was on Android since the very early 2010s), and I still use Beeper for everything but iMessages.
Curious how you're finding it so far? I mowed my Note20 Ultra in June of last year and replaced it with a 14 Pro Max then just last month went and swapped back to an S24 Ultra. I found Apple to be too restrictive. The OS level stuff was one thing but the app store lacking things like emulators or vape apps because "Apple said so" rubbed me the wrong way, whether I need them or not. Plus I like writing python on my phone.
I’m not doing anything super technical on my phone, so I can’t provide any opinion about things like code writing or testing from it.
I’ve found iOS 17 to be amazing so far on my 15 pro max. My only persistent irk is with the notification management. If a notification pops up that I don’t care to interact with, I’d like the option to swipe it away and have it actually go away. Instead, that initial banner can only be swiped up to make it go to the Notification Center, where it has to be swiped away or opened.
Everything else about the device is phenomenal for me. Battery life (even capped at 80%), 1Password integration, Focus Modes, and Shortcuts.
