You can get normal sms text. Just need to untoggle iMessage in settings and text work as normal. iMessage just routes all messages through apple server. Again if you don't plan on changing back and forth between Android and iphone on a regular basis, then use iMessage. I don't use it because I switch every few weeks, just cause.

why the fuck would you willingly switch to an iphone?

zenfone 8 is the size of iphone 13 mini and is flagship for less than 800 bucks.

Sony Xperia 5 iii also. But the last mainstream option died with the s10e, unfortunately.

The only thing more annoying than the hard-core Apple fan boys are the douchebag panties-in-a-wad iPhone haters.

Just remembered my biggest complaint about IOS. Iphones and ipads have tons of ads. I miss not being able to set my DNS to block ads. Even without dns blocking, my android phones and tablet have considerably fewer ads. You'll get used to it.

you can use adblock to do this i believe

do you know if it's system wide or only for browsers?

It's not system wide.

But I have never noticed a ton of ads everywhere like you mention.

Agree with 34.   I get very few adds.

[TexasEd 8266]

I use Chrome and not Safari.  I don't notice ads being intrusive.  I also use google as my default search.  

[Gil Bang 26244]

I have an interesting problem with my SE.  My camera view shakes like Michael J. Fox is holding the phone.  I can prop it up on a table with the camera on, and the image still "jiggles".  

Apple says it's likely a faulty gyroscope, and they are shipping me a new phone. 

[YChang 3570]

Curious also about ads.

I can’t ever recall seeing ads pop up on my iPhone or iPad uses. I do use ad blockers for Safari. And certainly nothing outside of a web browser.

Sure you didn’t buy a knock off forked droid tablet to look like an iPad?

[crash_davis 23470]

Webpages have tons of ads. Games have tons of ads. When you dns through Adguard, there are zero ads. None. Coming from that, when you see ads in almost every app, it's shocking.

[YChang 3570]

Ahh… yeah I don’t see ads on webpages. But that makes sense on free to play games. Which I don’t play or typically pay for it to go away.

After the newest update I can no longer tap on the dots at the bottom of the home screen to switch pages, I have to swipe. Is that no longer possible?

From the first world problems department, anyone know why my animated gifs quit working? So far they’re done on iMessage and Facebook and I’m sure other places. 

[UnivTex34 1765]

No idea, as I don't use those. I've used Gif Keyboard for years, and it IMO has a much larger library (Imgur owns it), and is easier to find weird/hard to find images.

We are having that same issue. It must be something wrong with iMessage.

[Buzzrock 15136]

I use GIPHY Keys. Still working fine.

[HiggyBaby 2617]

Anyone else having Bluetooth issues? Mine just started over the last couple weeks. 
first issue: car Bluetooth randomly connects and disconnects. I do not have a CarPlay head unit (yet) so I have to rely on BT for calls and tunes.

second issue: similar to first, AirPods (2nd gen) keep dropping and reconnecting. Again, both issues only started over last couple weeks. Annoying as hell. Could it have something to do with the latest iOS update? 

[bluto 4998]

BT calls (only calls) in my 5 yr old Toyota have been a total bitch the last yr roughly

No problems here on 14pm
