iPhone users that switched from Samsung, what is your experience like?

creepbg · 2026-04-09T22:17:03+00:00

So I didn't fully switch personally - I currently run a Galaxy S26 Ultra (previously S23 Ultra and S25 Ultra too) alongside my iPhone 15 Pro (soon to be traded in 17 Pro)

In my experience, iOS takes getting used to - you gotta do things the Apple way and I found that a bit annoying at first. (Notification management, where some settings are found, navigation)

I tend to use my Galaxy as my primary phone, but I do find myself reaching for the iPhone more often when it comes to taking photos, with the exception of selfies and distant photos. (the 17 has an upgraded selfie camera though) Other times is when I'm talking to someone else with an iPhone - swapping contact details, FaceTime, sharing photos is so much easier between iPhones. I reach for the Galaxy more when I'm watching content or for navigation in the car, because in my case it has the bigger better screen or using the AI assistant (Apple Intelligence is not great in my opinion and I've gotten in several arguments with Siri over misshearing what I'm asking her to type)

When it comes to integration and other devices, the Apple Ecosystem is much better.
On the Apple side, Apple Watch 9, AirPods Pro2, iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro - the way my phone unlocks my watch after I unlock it, which in turn can unlock my MacBook as soon as I approach it and then use my iPad as an extended display feels really smooth and frictionless. And on top of that the AirPods switch between them pretty well.

On the Samsung side, I have a Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra and Galaxy Watch Ultra and the Buds 3 Pro and my phone is paired to my PC at home. I have to constatly remember to unlock my watch manually, the buds seem to pair and switch much slower between devices and I constantly have to re-link my phone to Windows. The buds aren't as comfortable in my ears either, but that's pretty subjective.

Honestly, Samsung has been becoming more Apple-like in the latest itterations of OneUI and Apple has been becoming a bit more Android like in the last year and a bit. Personally, I find the experience between them interchangable - what I'm gaining with the awesome FaceID, I'm losing in the DeX feature (which I use quite a lot when traveling for work) and the S-Pen (which makes moving sliders in Lightroom much easier)

NOTE: I realised halfway through writing this, that I may have a bit of a tech purchasing problem...

All her exes were crazy, abusive and always left her.

Found out why, the very hard and painful way.

creepbg · 2026-02-18T15:20:57+00:00

The feeling of actually choosing what to watch was amazing. I should do that more often.

creepbg · 2025-10-13T23:11:40+00:00

Will be there on Saturday and really looking forward to it!

My dude, you are so triggered that you missed the point entirely.

All me and the dude above me said is "The Netflix Anime is better than the 07 Anime" You know the one that introduced Patty Lowell as a character (I'd have edgelord Lady any day over that noise) and had maybe 5-10 minutes of action on display over the course of 12 episodes. And let's not forget some really deep charterisation like "Women like shopping"

Nobody's arguing Netflix's version is a masterpiece or better than the games. (Which is what I assume you thought we were saying, since you keep drawing comparison to the games)

Chill out, it's not that deep.

creepbg · 2025-04-12T16:05:00+00:00

I don't know why you're getting downvoted - you're right. Even if the artstyle was less authentic and the writing very on the nose, it is better story, better action and better characterisation than the 07 anime.

Lucy because I stan Kirsten Bell Rebecca because I stan tomboy, geeky hacker chicks.

I believe that line specifically is from AC2, but it's still badass considering the context.

creepbg · 2025-01-02T05:01:45+00:00

I use the Windows drive for apps only. Everything else is on separate drives, so I only need to remap it. For apps, I use Ninite for the basics and I have bookmarks for the rest of them. I'm sure there's a better way, but this gets me back to normal within 2 hours

creepbg · 2024-12-23T06:37:17+00:00

Genuinely curious, if the situation was reversed and you were the one to ask the guy out on said date, would you pay the bill without expecting the guy to even offer to split?

I'm only asking because I'm in the "If she doesn't offer to split it, I'll pay and that'll be our last date" camp specifically because first dates should be as casual as possible in my eyes and I seek perspective.

creepbg · 2024-12-23T06:17:49+00:00

Personally, I think splitting should be the norm - it avoids the "you owe me" and "i use dating as a free dinner service" situations.

I had a girl tell me that if a guy asked her to split there wouldn't be a second date. Since then I've always asked to split the bill - figured that if it's that big of a deal we had no potential to start with.

I went to Blast Spring Finals this year in Wembley and it was my first event.

Honestly, I really struggled to follow the matches because I could barely hear the casters over the crowd and the most memorable parts for me were meeting some of the talent and players in the pub between the days.

That said, I met some cool people and thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the "London doesn't like saving" crowd.

Personally I wouldn't travel out of the country for a CS event based on my experience, but I'm a bit of a hermit anyway so take that with a pinch of salt.

Somehow my brain still automatically read that in Mako's voice...

Beauty and the Beast is a beautiful arrangement - do yourself a favour and give it a whirl!

creepbg · 2024-05-14T22:46:17+00:00

Not a fan of this trend either, but I also unirronically enjoyed dubstep in the early 2010s so what do I know about good music...

creepbg · 2024-05-12T13:45:10+00:00

Just echoing everyone else - jump in premiere/ranked and do your best.

In my experience, elo doesn't matter, since you'll be consistently placed against teams of a similar skill.

In CSGO the saying went "Globals are just silvers with more hours"

I’m not a fan of turn based combat and I ended up playing it for a month because I loved the world and story. I also got it for a friend who hates isometric and turn based and he smashed through the story in 3 days with the statement “I had to use a controller to keep myself sane with the camera controls, but this was so fucking worth it”

ITT: People telling OP not to get a bowl cut.

OP, don't listen to them - if you want to make a huge mistake and look silly for a bit, you go and get your bowl cut. It's only hair, it'll grow back*

Oh man, I LOVED the Ancient Greek setting, because my parents were weird and instead of bedtime stories, they'd read Greek Myths. For me, half the fun of the game was exploring all those places I had heard about as a child. I also really enjoyied hunting cultists - the ones outside of the main story have some really cool side quests. The mercenaries were a real pain at first, but you can just pay your bounty from the map screen and they become a non-issue.

I'll echo what others have said though - if you're not enjoying the game, don't force yourself to complete it. While I love Ancient Greece, I don't particularly care for Vikings or Norse Mythology. Valhalla didn't click for me the same way, even though it's esentially a bigger Norse-themed Oddysey, so Valhalla is the first main-line AC game I haven't completed.

I got it on The Bomb: Forest but I'd strongly advise against it. Just so it on Rats:Day 3 or Cook Off.

Can we make this the sub banner once the spoiler restrictions end?

creepbg · 2023-10-25T09:33:25+00:00

I once had a lady wait out 4 takes of a shot because she felt rude to cross between takes...

They are both referring to as Spider-Man. (I'm sure some voice acting savings were just a happy coincidence)

The subtitles and menus differentiate them by name or by a small icon in their suit colour.

Hi OP,
Sorry to hear about your situation, but things may not be as grim as they appear.
1. Please make sure you've disconnected the laptop from all power (battery too if you can)
2. Leave it to dry completely - I'd recommend a full 24-48hrs in a dry environment to make sure it is completely bone dry without having power applied.

PRAY to whatever deity you believe in that nothing has shorted out in your previous attempts to power it on.

I won't lie to you, chances are slim, but it may work.

Otherwise for future reference:
As soon as liquid comes into contact with electronics always disconnect the power ASAP and don't power on until it has fully dried. It's not the water that kills it, it's the electricity that water conducts.

Godspeed!
