Choosing a smartphone does not need to be tied only to the iPhone
I do not deny that Apple products that are easy to set and use are wonderful. But on the other hand, you may feel restricted. The restriction is not a big deal for most people. However, for those who want to use products different from Apple, smartphones other than the iPhone may not be possible. Even if you think Galaxy Z Flip is good, all the texts are green ... (!). But why not switch to Android? No, I understand. I feel unreasonable to change from iPhone to Android. Thanks to Apple, replacing the SIM card is very troublesome. As soon as you transfer your phone number to a phone other other than Apple, you will not be able to send or receive a call between iMessage and FaceTime. If you have another Apple product, you will not be able to contact your friends on iMessage or FaceTime, but you will have to contact you through the Apple ID email connected here. For these various reasons, changing a smartphone is extremely troublesome. One of the most important things is to synchronize with Apple devices other than iPhone. If the iPad is not connected to the line, you must connect to Wi-Fi before interacting with group chat or iMessage. This setting is much more inconvenient than keeping the iPhone connected to a new smartphone hot spot. Be prepared for other Apple devices in cooperation with new smartphones. Useful functions of Apple, such as AirDrop, Handoff, and iCloud, are not available on Android. In addition, since most of the ones purchased on the iPhone using the Apple ID are fixed to the platform, you will need to purchase apps and games such as minecraft and FilmicPro again. But that's not a big deal.
