Best match for posting my questions I found, hoping someone can give me some insight.
For long I’ve been really annoyed about battery life, sluggish performance and lacking camera capabilities in my old Samsung Galaxy Note 8. It’s been a perfect phone for me for a long time, but having to charge it 2-4 times per day with regular use alongside with a now cracked camera glass which introduced smudgy photos made me take the decision. I got a new phone, and it was a bold move to iOS and the new iPhone 14 pro. I knew what to expect regarding battery life, smooth performance, Face ID and camera setup.
After changing phones, which was not super smooth (lost 90% of text messages etc, but I’m fine with it), everything seemed fantastic at first.
Now I’ve had the new phone for almost two months and there are some really really disappointing things that keep annoying me on a daily basis: - The touch screen is a lot less precise then my old phone, I keep having to zoom in websites to be able to hit correctly. And I do not really have big fingers. I’ve had no issues with this on my Note 8 and I hit everything I tried first attempt most times. With the iPhone it won’t try and hit anything unless I zoom. For me this seems like something basic for a smartphone and it’s really starting to get on my nerves. - Playing some media/app music from videos and such tend to drop out every now and then. The solution is to try again from scratch, it may or may not work. Perhaps it’s an app related issue more than iOS, I don’t know. - While in a car I cannot find an option for choosing audio output to not be the car, while still have Bluetooth connected to the car. This audio source output selection seems available when in a call, but not in general use? Maybe I’ve not figure it out. - At random times the phone get seriously hot where I expect the processor to be. It’s uncomfortable to the touch and I usually restart the phone to fix it. This happens with lights useage(scrolling webpages of social media, nothing extra open or draining background apps). Perhaps it’s an issue with the recent processor? I have not contacted the dealership about it yet, it doesn’t occur every day.
Other than that I am very impressed with the video quality, but actually a bit disappointed about the pictures, comparing latest new phones, where it seems other manufacturers are now producing more pleasing pictures. One of the reasons I chose to pickup and iPhone for was the great pictures it produced. They are still great, don’t get me wrong, but it seems not as good as the most recent competitors.
Things that I DO love are the smoothness, battery life, Face ID and to a great extent the camera setup. I know it’s hard to get all bells and whistles, but it seems some of the issues are unnecessary or lacking in 2022/2023.
Thoughts? ( I regret sometimes that I did not pickup the Pixel 7 pro instead..)
