| 5 things to know before switching to iPhone |
The first time you switch from an Android phone to an iPhone, you may not encounter many problems because Apple devices generally have a good reputation for being easy to use. However, before deciding to change, you need to understand the main differences between the two operating systems.
Lots of built-in apps on iPhone
The first time you use your iPhone, you will find native Apple apps that are not available on many Android phones. The most popular email and calendar applications were previously built into the operating system, as well as the Safari browser.
It may take some time to get used to using it. However, you can use the Android OS app instead. The version available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad users.
Fully compatible with other Apple devices
The first time you switch to iPhone, you need to create an Apple ID. You can then use your credentials on any other Apple device (such as a Mac, iPad, or Apple Watch).
However, it becomes complicated when transferring files between mobile phones and devices running other operating systems such as Windows PCs. You need to download the iCloud app or use Google Drive.
Battery discharge works differently
As with any electronic device, how much power a battery uses depends on how you use it. However, Apple phones often offer built-in features to save battery life when not in use. For example, you can activate the power saving mode function. When the battery reaches 80%, iOS automatically turns off the function.
Lots of updates and fixes
The first time you use the iPhone, you will notice many security fixes and software updates that Apple releases regularly.
There are several reasons for this, including introducing new features and resolving security or performance issues. Also, you need to update to a new iOS version every year. This is necessary to improve the performance of the phone and close security holes.
There are not many customization options on iPhone
Compared to Android phones, the iPhone doesn't offer many system-wide customization options because most of the customization options are centered around the home screen. For example, you can create folders for applications or change the layout of applications.
