My gf got an iPhone last year to try and experience it. I've thing she uses her phone a lot fit is movie consumption. Iphone doesn't let you transfer files from a pc to it by just plugging in the USB and using the file manager let me tell you. She is pissed.

i got an iphone in november to try it out and play with lidar etc. I had buyers remorse pretty quickly and now months later have had enough of the rigidity and am returning it for an android phone. I don’t understand the hype to be honest

The way Apple wants you to transfer files is to install iTunes from the Microsoft store. I do not envy the fact that you have to use an app that hasn't changed much since 2014. Or the Finder on macOS.

Download VLC, use WiFi transfer.

Yeah it's awful, trying to do anything at all outside using basic apps in iOS is headache inducing.

Just something as simple as getting an SSH key into an SSH app took way too much time to figure out, as you can't just copy the key file over like you can on Android.

Honestly, being in the US surrounded by iPhones really pisses me off. To make matters worse, I am in the age range of the teens who love their iPhones. I really, really, really hate the iPhone and the iSheep that somehow use it. I feel like brain surgery is required to become an iSheep that can actually use an iPhone.

Honestly, I also hate Android too. I am going to quit using cell phones entirely because they piss me off.

Also, is there an exhaustive list of every single thing normies do on their phones? Normies as in US Gen Z normies. I already know advertisers figured this out.

Have you tried out KLWP for android? You can make your phone unlike anyone else's.
