My first recommendation is to stick with Android. iPhone absolutely sucks, unless you are stuck in the Apple ecosystem, and HAVE to have FaceTime to communicate with your friends and loved ones.Also, I am switching from an Android.
I'm aware of all this, but I much prefer the universal optimization of Apple's devices.My first recommendation is to stick with Android. iPhone absolutely sucks, unless you are stuck in the Apple ecosystem, and HAVE to have FaceTime to communicate with your friends and loved ones.
The iPhone SE 2020 is essentially the iPhone 11, in the body of the iPhone 8. Even today, it's a weak device, which is why it's so cheap.
You can do everything that you can do on an iPhone, better and cheaper on an Android, with much more flexibility.
I worked in phone sales. Maybe if you HAD to have an Apple device, this is the cheapest one that isn't garbage.I'm aware of all this, but I much prefer the universal optimization of Apple's devices.
Yeah an big advice: save money and stay on android, the TCO of the apple is enormous.Also, I am switching from an Android.
Precisely that. Without a jailbroken iPhone, they're damned near worthless, unless you like having your device completely locked down.Yeah like me if my iPhone 12 Pro wasn't jailbroken on iOS 14.5.1 I would have an android Stock iOS sucks ass. Apple locked down to much can't do anything on stock iOS
My advice? Don't. Simple. You lose 95% of what you love about Android, and on Apple devices, you cannot install anything that isn't gotten directly from Apple's in-house shop applet. Trying to do so will result in the app automatically being removed randomly, while deleting every folder the app created, without your knowledge or consent. There are hacky workarounds, but using them makes you run the risk of being denied free repair at the factory if you have an issue with your iPhone. Also, there's only about 1% of the total apps available on Android available on Apple's App Store. In other words, if you switch, you'll lose WAY more than you gain, just for peace of mind and nothing more. Ask yourself, is this something you may regret later? If you said 'Yes', or 'Maybe, but I'll deal with it when it happens', then you might want to think twice before buying an iPhone. The only people who use iPhone are people who either have only used Apple devices their whole lives, or people who only use their phone for internet and calls and nothing more. These same people are also the same kind of people that buy Chromebooks, which I think is a pure waste.Also, I am switching from an Android.
I got a Lenovo C340 for $90 during the Black Friday pre-sale a few years ago. Bought two of them.My advice? Don't. Simple.

I need to pick up a 13 Mini before they stop being made. Not enough places make smaller form factor phones nowadays, and with Apple skipping it with the 14 I feel like they'll be dropping it themselves soon. It's a shame, but I guess they make what sells, and small just ain't it anymore.I have an iPhone SE gen 3 as a work phone. It's a neat little phone, it's basically an iPhone 8.
I do fear the phone is getting a bit older, so it's not a lot of years left before Apple pulls the life support for it.
If possible, can I recommend maybe the iPhone 13 mini? They're roughly the same price when I looked the last time.
Yeah, I've been in the android community for a bit. I mostly just want to get a feel for iOS. Thanks for the pointers everyone!You're 13? Well, you certainly can go from an Android to an iPhone and then back to an Android again. lol
Stick with Android because the liberties it has, you won't get 'em on iPhone.
Honestly, I think I may get the 12 or 11 insteadI have an iPhone SE gen 3 as a work phone. It's a neat little phone, it's basically an iPhone 8.
