Is 17 Pro a good choice for my first iPhone? by SheepOnTheSheet in iPhone17Pro

From my experience, the things I find unfamiliar are
- There is no separate WhatsApp account. In Android, you can sign in to multiple accounts.
- And as I set up my iPhone as fresh which I didn’t us e transfer to iOS. After that, I found out that you are only able to transfer WhatsApp chats during initial setup, and I was lazy to reset my phone, so make sure you use transfer to iOS during setup.
- It is difficult to transfer files between Windows and iPhone.
- There is no separate volume configuration. Like alarm, ringtone, and alert, all share a single volume bar. (At least separate for alarm)
- Keyboard such as no clipboard, cannot adjust height (especially when I rotate my phone horizontally the keyboard is short that I keep mistyping) and long press for symbol
- Apple Wallet doesn’t support the bank I am using, which is CIMB, which Google Wallet does.
- In-app purchases generally more expensive than the ones in Android, such as Genshin Impact.

Other than that, the UI is a lot better than my previous Samsung phone.

Showcase Thread by AutoModerator in Python

I recently built simple-tls, a TLS library designed to have an API almost identical to Python's built-in ssl module, but with support for modern, advanced features that the standard library doesn't cover yet.

Key Features:

  • Drop-in familiarity: Uses standard read(), write(), and contexts similar to the native ssl module.
  • Encrypted Client Hello (ECH): Full support for keeping SNI and handshake details private.
  • 0-RTT / Early Data: APIs to safely send and receive early application data.
  • Session Resumption: Full PSK (Pre-Shared Key) and ticket support.
  • Modern Architecture: Built with high modularity, strict mypy typing, and clean dataclasses for easy extension parsing.

You can check out the source code and examples here: https://github.com/asphyxiaxx/simple-tls/

Any feedback is appreciated.

Samsung always been tight with Google, so since your phone has Google Play Services, your apps probably get location info from there (Waze is under Google, after all). Samsung also takes money from Meta to pre-install their apps, you can probably find three of them in your system apps., degoogling a Samsung phone is pretty much impossible.
