What are some things you wish apple did better on iPhones, or some things you prefer that Samsung does better than Apple?

    omg there’s a problem with iphone microphones the last 3 phones i’ve had have had this fault with the microphone that renders it unusable.

    Unable to use the microphone for the camera app, only using the camera via another app like snapchat or instagram for example.

    The problem got worse, less apps were supporting the microphones use with the camera. Then it stopped people hearing me during my calls.

    I was forced to put my phone on loudspeaker to answer and call people as it was the only time the mic would work. Then that started to become temperamental and i was forced to connect my headphones to take a call and use the mic on my headphones.

    I got all the components changed, to then be told it’s a software problem, updated the newest IOS and still a problem.

    This happened to my iphone 7 plus, iphone 8 plus and iphone XS…

    it felt like these problems would start happeneing when a new phone was brought out but that’s a discussion for another day…

    Now i’m on the iphone 11 lol

    Integrate notifications with dynamic island i have a Samsung as a secondary and there’s an app called D-Notch basically dynamic island for android but imo the developers did a great job because every time you get a notif it will appear on the dynamic island you can enlarge it or hold it to open the open the app whichever app and has almost all other dynamic island features

    Honestly photo gallery improvements. MAINLY I wish there was a folder where ask your PHOTOS were separate from any images that you’ve saved, screenshots, etc. a true “camera gallery” where everything that was taken thru an iPhone camera lens was separated from all the downloaded junk memes and screenshots and wallpapers and stuff. Just imagine how nice that would be.

    Photo processing. I have photos from my old old old pixel 3xl that I can blow up and not have any pixelation or loss of detail.

    The “better” camera in my iPhone 13 Pro Max only takes photos that look good at iPhone size.

    Polish the ui. Take time to actually use their device now. Like I don’t think they actually use iPhones. It’s how broken iOS is.

      I mean the safari search keyboard is also just a URL box. Would be kinda annoying to type out a url if the period isn’t immediately available.

      Huh. I never noticed that period on the Safari keyboard. Had to go see it for myself. I guess I just never used it or accidentally touched it.

        Maybe you mainly type with your left thumb, if you even type with your thumbs at all. My right thumb does most of the work when typing, and I hit the period button 9/10 times and have done so since probably my first iPhone.
