I used android for 12 years, and after I couldn’t find a flagship phone with an SD card slot I figured I’d try an iPhone because why not. That was 10 months ago and I’m still using it. Things I really miss and prefer about android:
-Customizability: being able to change whatever I wanted was great. I loved spending hours customizing launchers and how everything worked.
-File system: God do I hate iOS and how file management works on iPhones. It’s so unintuitive and dumb. To put videos on my iPad through VLC I have to download the app, then put the files in the app on a computer with iTunes or a Mac, then sync it. Drag and drop for music management was great too.
-USB C: no explanation needed
-Sideloading apps: I used this quite a bit more than I thought and it was definitely something to get used to, to not be able to easily do that without jailbreaking or whatnot.
-YouTube Vanced/emulation: I hate ads and like games
-Keyboards: the iOS keyboard is dogshit. The 3rd party ones are also dogshit, even though somehow the same ones on android were great
Hi there, just a question, see the VLC issue, have you tried the option to ‘Sharing Via Wi-Fi’ under ‘Network’ in VLC?
Once that is activated, it gives you a local IP then you go to your computer’s browser, type that IP address and drag files from say Desktop into the browser.
You will not need iTunes.
