Some things I like, some things I hate. iMessage is really great, the notification system is whack. Already miss all my little icons at the top with a quick pull down menu showing quick information. Automatically sorting app icons at the top is trash too, ditto for the keyboard. Even the nerfed Swiftkey pales in comparison to the Android version.

The things that sell an iPhone, facetime, iMessage, camera quality etc are the things it does really well. Lot of the other stuff it just feels like it takes more time to do it vs an Android phone. The notification system needs a huge overall.

I'll admit it's only been three days and lots to get used to however.
It's funny because I *hate* the Android keyboards I've used on my work Galaxy S10e and the Pixel 8 I'm running now. I've tried a few, but the stock iPhone keyboard with swipe for me is still the best. The swipe functionality itself has trained itself to be useless more often than I'd like, but in terms of it being a good keyboard to type on, I dramatically prefer my iPhone's keyboard.

Windows Phone 8.1 still had -- bar none -- the best damn keyboard and swipe functionality out there. Even Windows 10 Mobile wasn't as good.
