An iPhone loyalist since the 3GS era, I’ve occasionally dabbled with various Android devices over the past decade and a half, yet Apple products have always been my mainstay for both work and personal use. Observing someone from the Android camp trying out the iPhone 15 Pro, such as YouTuber JerryRigEverything, was both amusing and revealing.
The Trial: Switching to iPhone 15 Pro
Known for his durability tests on the latest iPhones, JerryRigEverything, a staunch Android supporter for 13 years, recently swapped to the iPhone 15 Pro for 100 days. He released a video discussing the trio of features he admired on the iPhone 15 Pro and another set that made him keen to revert back to Android. Not all features he disliked were deal-breakers, but as an iPhone user, it was interesting to note his perspective on Apple’s flagship device.
The Verdict: Three Hits and Misses
JerryRigEverything praised FaceTime for its unparalleled call quality and ease of use, the modular flashlight brightness, and the seamless authentication with Face ID. On the flip side, he criticized the iPhone 15 Pro’s lack of informative notifications for alarm setup and charging details, the restrictive notification system for reading content without opening apps, and the absence of text scheduling, a feature long desired by iPhone users that’s standard on Android.
JerryRigEverything’s video offers a more comprehensive analysis of his experience with the iPhone 15 Pro. While some views may be contentious, it’s noteworthy to witness the interaction of an Android enthusiast with an Apple smartphone, gauging the nuances through the lens of a different ecosystem user.
