s20+ to iPhone 12

[Ambreen Mustafa]

Long time Samsung user here. I've been using Samsung since Note 2. I used iPhone 4 for couple of years. And now the old design is making me nostalgic. Extremely interested to switch from s20+ to iPhone 12 (not pro since it's too expensive in my country).

Anyone who has taken the leap? Whats your experience?

It really depends..I have the 12 Pro which is similar and it's a nice phone.. Does it right with pics and videos..its solid device but tough to say from one used to Android and going to Apple.. I use both sides daily... Both have positives... Phone is nice in hand feels small to me...

I think it's a good investment.. Definitely agree on Apple watch as it's only watch I will use .. I see deals today $50 off the AW 6 series.. I pair my Buds live with my iPhone and iPad and they are good combo...

Reasons?

1. FaceID for massive notch.
2. The software is great to the point its boring, lol.
3. The pro model is small and average battery life

I was a
Sammy user for over ten years going back to the Fascinate. Last August I bit the bullet and bought myself an iphone 11 pro max. This weekend I finally went back to my Sammy 20 plus.

I still have some serious issues with Google/Android/Samsung and privacy and Apple has some great features and is far more privacy centric. But, my biggest issue with the iphone was/is iTunes. iTunes is a freaking steaming pile of month old garbage.

As a musician I have massive amounts of music, some standard music files but a ton of self recorded or studio sessions with other musicians and it is irreplaceable. iTunes insists on arranging music it's way, insists on only using only common file types that co.press and reduce quality etc. iTunes blew away about 30 gigs of my music that it decided I didn't wanting my "library". Luckily, I kept multiple backups because I didn't trust it.

The iphone is a really nice machine and would probably be a great phone for a lot of people but it didn't work for me. I'm glad to be back where I feel like I have a great deal of control over my music and the phone itself.
