Having been a long time Android user, I’m pleasantly surprised with the iPhone 13 and the Apple Watch Series 7

I made the switch from Android to IOS because of health issues. Specifically the Health app being much better for ECG and heart rate monitoring. I also bought the Series 7 watch. I am very impressed with the monitoring.Voice recognition on apple iPhone is more accurate and allows you pause longer when dictating. Voice recognition is available nearly everywhere.Facial recognition is outstanding.Apple Maps app is not nearly as good as Google Maps, but you can install Google Maps.The IPhone requires learning many gestures, which are not always intuitive.I miss the back arrow function in Android.Siri has many commands which makes using the IPhone very easy.The IPhone is fast and the screen is excellent.Accessories are abundant.The camera is great.The ... MoreI made the switch from Android to IOS because of health issues.

You don’t have to say “hey Siri”The learning curve is not easy due to extensive gesture requirements.In general I really like the IPhone 13 and IOS,I hope this helps.I am 74 and supported large computer systems since 1982.

Massive Beast in a small size!

Just upgraded to this from a Samsung Galaxy S10e a couple days ago, and let me tell you something. For me, this was a huge jump because I've had very little experience with iOS prior to buying this phone. And to start off, I love every aspect of this phone, especially Siri and the cameras! Speaking of which, the cameras on this thing are insane! Way less noisy and grainy in the background than my Samsung. Another feature I absolutely love is the Face ID, which detects your face almost instantly, unlike my S10e. And the last feature I really love on this thing is setting Do Not Disturb based on location. This was a feature that my Samsung did not have and I cannot tell you how helpful this is! One being that I don't have to readjust the time schedule of Do Not ... MoreJust upgraded to this from a Samsung Galaxy S10e a couple days ago, and let me tell you something.

One being that I don't have to readjust the time schedule of Do Not Disturb and the second being that it will not turn of until you're a certain distance away from that location (which can be adjusted in Settings). Overall, as a former Android user, I cannot tell you how much I love my iPhone 13! It has way more features than my old phone and it's also blazing fast! I would definitely recommend this phone!

Roberta's iPhone 11

I generally like the phone. My prior phone, iPhone 7Plus, had significantly less storage. I do prefer the Fingerprint and Home Button as compared to Face ID. I seem to be having to enter my passcode almost consistently instead of Face ID recognizing me. I wish it had come with instructions. I am having to figure out how some of the features work. I still haven't figured out how to get the page that has locking, volume, brightness, flashlight, focus, square with airplane mode, wi-fi, bluetooth, and internet, and other features to consistently pop up. Also, I have become frustrated when trying to edit a text. The cursor will not go where I tap so sometimes I have to tap several words away from where I want to edit or a different line in order to add or delete a ... MoreI generally like the phone.

The cursor will not go where I tap so sometimes I have to tap several words away from where I want to edit or a different line in order to add or delete a letter, word, or punctuation. I'm also still trying to figure out how to use the Passwords on the phone. It was very easy for me using the Home button and fingerprint on the other phone when logging into an app.

So far, it's the worst iPhone I've ever had (and I've had iPhones for about 10 years)

Positives: It looks amazing (absolutely love the green color), feels solid, can't beat the screen size and clarity, and the camera is impressive.Cons: It has horrible reception, I can't stream music without it pausing every 15-30 seconds (for about a minute or two of silence while it figures out whatever it is trying to figure out), and I have yet to successfully use it as a hotspot for my computer. It seems to pair, shows that I have a solid 5G signal, but my computer will not even load google. Then there's the fact that Siri only works half the time...if that. And don't get me started how it pairs with my AirPods - let's just say it's not good. It randomly decides to drop those out every so often as well. Frustrating. Honestly, my SE 2020 was far superior ... MorePositives: It looks amazing (absolutely love the green color), feels solid, can't beat the screen size and clarity, and the camera is impressive.Cons: It has horrible reception, I can't stream music without it pausing every 15-30 seconds (for about a minute or two of silence while it figures out whatever it is trying to figure out), and I have yet to successfully use it as a hotspot for my computer.

Don't waste your money until they get the kinks worked out. Hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out.

Some issues

Bought a Mini iPhone 13 initially which had to go back as it did not work properly. Torch came on and would not go off. Refunded and as there were no iPhone Minis in stock in the colour I wanted switched to iPhone 13. It has lots more memory so is better at meeting my storage needs. Having some issues with pairing with other devices which is taking time as I am switching between carrier and manufacturer as to what the problem is and both are directing me to the other so problem still not sorted. Had to completely re-register with some of my contacts as their website would not recognise the new phone. This hasn't happened before with other iPhones when switching to a new model.Not thrilled with face recognition. Definitely prefer the touch access on earlier ... MoreBought a Mini iPhone 13 initially which had to go back as it did not work properly. Torch came on and would not go off.

Definitely prefer the touch access on earlier iPhones.Phone looks good and I like the colour I chose. Camera is good and QR code recognition actually works on this phone. Took me a while to get used to the fact that turning off the phone is different and I wasn't always sure it was turned off as the slide function on the earlier phone has been replaced with a one step button press at the side. Preferred the slide function as it gave me more confidence that it was actually turned off. I am still learning.Phone feels solid and of good quality.

Very disappointing

I was led to believe that my 13 Pro Max would do and be all sorts of wonderful but, actually, it’s not much different than all the rest.Mine has a touchscreen difficulty, similar, at times, the issues that plagued me with my I-6… often I tap, tap, tap on the screen with little or no response. I have to either turn the phone off and restart it… or, reset network settings to get around it. On other occasions, I move my finger within a 1/4” of the screen and it activates whatever was nearest my finger. There have also been times where drops of perspiration, hitting the screen will change a display… depending upon where the drop of sweat hits the screen.There is a glitch, when taking photos, where the photo pixilates. Most often it will normalize when retaking the ... MoreI was led to believe that my 13 Pro Max would do and be all sorts of wonderful but, actually, it’s not much different than all the rest.Mine has a touchscreen difficulty, similar, at times, the issues that plagued me with my I-6… often I tap, tap, tap on the screen with little or no response.

There have also been times where drops of perspiration, hitting the screen will change a display… depending upon where the drop of sweat hits the screen.There is a glitch, when taking photos, where the photo pixilates. Most often it will normalize when retaking the photo but every once in a while, it will continue to pixelate 2-3 times… differently, with each subsequent photo.I was led to believe that I would be able to take “macro” photos. Apparently, the individual making this claim knows absolutely nothing about photography. Yes, it… on occasion… will take a decent “closeup” (not the same as “macro”) but even that can be difficult and very time consuming because the phone camera cannot decide where the focus should be. My subject of the photo, “bounces” wildly around the screen and I must ready myself to make an extremely quick shot if it “bounces” into a more desired area, compositionally speaking. It’s extremely difficult, also, to get the focus on a smaller object in the foreground, if there is anything large enough, in the background, for the camera to focus on. An example would be, attempting to photograph, say, a flower in the foreground and leaves are behind it… the focus will switch quickly from the flower to the leaves in the background.There seriously needs to be a way to set the camera to focus on the main subject and leave the background blurry. The “portrait mode” is “supposed” to this but it fails miserably the vast majority of the time and you cannot get very close to the subject in “portrait” settings.
