My gf got an iPhone last year to try and experience it. I've thing she uses her phone a lot fit is movie consumption. Iphone doesn't let you transfer files from a pc to it by just plugging in the USB and using the file manager let me tell you. She is pissed.

The way Apple wants you to transfer files is to install iTunes from the Microsoft store. I do not envy the fact that you have to use an app that hasn't changed much since 2014. Or the Finder on macOS.

Yeah it's awful, trying to do anything at all outside using basic apps in iOS is headache inducing.

Just something as simple as getting an SSH key into an SSH app took way too much time to figure out, as you can't just copy the key file over like you can on Android.

Download VLC, use WiFi transfer.

i got an iphone in november to try it out and play with lidar etc. I had buyers remorse pretty quickly and now months later have had enough of the rigidity and am returning it for an android phone. I don’t understand the hype to be honest
