Anyone switched from Samsung to iPhone? Discussion

Loke the title says, has anyone here owned a Samsung Galaxy before and then switched to iPhone? I'm thinking about doing that, currently have the Galaxy S24 and thinking of getting the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but I want to see if anyone has made a similar change before and what it was like adapting to a phone and system you've not used before.

You loved a cutout that did absolutely nothing?

The island at least holds all the live activities and is slowly becoming a home for system notifications.

You're talking about 2 different things.

The cutout and the functionality that is associated with it are not the same.

Apple could very well allow us to use live activities on any part of the screen. The cutout is not necessary for that.

yeah, if it was just a camera then im sure they could copy what xiaomi and redmagic have done... but infrared signals are pretty easy to block i would assume...
