What you need to know when you first change your favorite Android smartphone to iPhone

Applications in the App Store Like it or not, the Apple app store contains far fewer apps than Google Play. If earlier you could download applications for all occasions, now you may face a shortage of them: Apple does not place everything in the App Store in a row due to security policy. Developer applications are thoroughly tested before release.

It is for this reason that the iPhone is much safer than Android smartphones. Sometimes, due to strict regulations, iPhone users get apps later than Android users. On the other hand, many programs often appear earlier on iOS: for example, Instagram and Clubhouse were originally only available to owners of iOS devices.

Apple Ecosystem When switching from Android to iPhone, you will need to create an Apple ID - this is an account for Apple devices that will allow you to synchronize several devices with each other at the same time. For example, iMac, iPad and iPhone. You can move files, sync features like contacts, notes, and use iCloud storage to back up your devices.

With iCloud, you'll receive iMessages on every device you've used that account on. In addition, almost all Apple accessories work perfectly only with the iPhone - some use them with Android or Windows, but this is a little different. In the same AirPods, interaction with other devices is perfectly built: for example, the headphones quickly switch only between Apple devices. iPhone battery life If the low-end iPhone SE has a mere 1821 mAh battery that scares you, then you have a lot to learn about iPhone battery life. Processors in apple smartphones, coupled with iOS, are the benchmark for energy efficiency. Battery capacity even in flagship iPhones is obviously lower than in Android flagships, but they last much longer.

So the iPhone 13 Pro Max worked 3 hours longer than the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra precisely due to the competent distribution of resources (recall, this is 4352 mAh versus 5000 mAh). So, if you're thinking about buying an iPhone, don't be alarmed that its battery has a smaller capacity than your current Android smartphone. iPhone charging connector Type-C is the head of everything. This connector is probably in all modern gadgets, but now your smartphone will have Lightning. Is it bad? Perhaps: the connector is already decently outdated, it has a low data transfer rate, and the original cable will also cost a fortune. Charging your iPhone with third-party accessories is, of course, not recommended. But there are pluses: for example, the connector is much more reliable than MicroUSB and Type-C.

It does not loosen over the years, it is easy to clean, and it also contains a special chip that regulates iPhone charging, preventing it from overheating. It also protects the smartphone from power surges in the network. By the way, the cable itself is quite reliable: it will serve you for more than one year, if you treat it with at least the slightest degree of care. How to set up a new iPhone Perhaps the most important difference between iOS and Android is the lack of detailed customization. If in an Android smartphone you could tweak even the smallest details by diving deep into the settings, then this will not happen in iOS. Actually, this is its charm: by default, the iPhone is configured in such a way that you don’t need to change anything in it and don’t want to.

In recent years, iOS has become more open, but in terms of the number of system settings, it is still inferior to Android. Some iPhones with outdated iOS are jailbreakable, but not everyone wants to farm a smartphone. Yes, and in the process itself there is no more sense, because all the functions have long been in the official updates of the system. Also, be prepared for the fact that the iPhone is much easier and more profitable to sell on the secondary market than Android.
