Is the upgrade program only worth it if you would normally get a new iPhone every year?
Interesting you quote I have the OnePlus 7T currently.. Do you miss it coming from here to an iPhone? And also what are the pros/cons you've found. If it saves clogging this thread I'd appreciate your findings via PMJust do the VPN registration for YT premium. Worth every penny of the £1.20 I pay each month.
The thing you have to remember is the iPhone batteries are smaller than the Android equivalents.
To put it into numbers I can charge my 12 just as fast with a 15w charger as I could charge my OnePlus 7T Pro with its 30w charger - and they both last just as long, in fact the iPhone may last longer.
Glass is glass - drop it and it might break. In addition, the back of the iPhones use a different glass and the price of repair for a broken back panel is where the real eye-watering bills come in. Keeping an iPhone naked and uninsured is asking for trouble IMO.
Don’t miss Android at all, my only regret is I didn’t make the change sooner.Interesting you quote I have the OnePlus 7T currently.. Do you miss it coming from here to an iPhone? And also what are the pros/cons you've found. If it saves clogging this thread I'd appreciate your findings via PM

Don’t miss Android at all, my only regret is I didn’t make the change sooner.
My main reasons for changing were I wanted a flagship phone with a flat display and wireless charging - I appreciate the 7T has a flat display already.
The other thing is I’ve just reached the stage where I can’t be bothered with customising my UI and all the extras that come with using Android. I’d have baulked at the idea only a few years ago but times change!
I really don't generally get involved with the debate about what is 'better' but that reminds me of a conversation in the office about three years ago. People were talking about it and someone was vociferous that android is better because of all the customisations he could do. When I asked him what customisations specifically, he couldn't list a single one but was adamant that it was better 'because I can customise it".The other thing is I’ve just reached the stage where I can’t be bothered with customising my UI and all the extras that come with using Android.

No the only downside is the YouTube music recommendations are Indian but apart from that it’s faultless.doesnt the vpn youtube premium then lock your youtube/google to that vpn locations catalogue?

I understand that, my point was I don’t use those features and as far I’m concerned (personally) that’s one of Android’s main appeals.I've never customized anything on my Google Pixel, that's not really a valid argument. You don't have to do anything to it for it to work.
I’ve dropped it countless times and there isn’t a ding. It feel out my pocket in the pictures last night and not a mark on it.

Having used both I do find iOS more convenient to use in general.
As has been mentioned I wouldn’t advocate one over the other, all I’m giving is my use case and experience.
I do find the eco system between it and my MacBook very handy but again not everyone has both a MacBook and an iPhone so that statement isn’t true for all.
There’s a thread over on the Mobiles section that explains this. Long story short you just make up an Indian address.but when you pay with card and you go to enter address it wont match with card registered address?
Use your UK account.doesnt the vpn youtube premium then lock your youtube/google to that vpn locations catalogue?

I’ve never had that, I used my UK account and connected to India via Nordvpn.No the only downside is the YouTube music recommendations are Indian but apart from that it’s faultless.
Picked up a case today from my local store and I’m glad I did as there is a huge lip to protect the camera module. How can you protect the camera lenses without a case?
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to use my incoming iPhone 13 naked and without forking out the thick end of £200 for insurance, but for me the potential downsides are too much to risk. I’ll buy AppleCare when mine arrives - most flagship phones feel too nice in the hand to cover up with cases and screen protectors.
Ive got iphone 12 pro without a case and i always place my phone down on a table front screen first so the cameras are facing upwards
