Missing a few text notifications………and what you wrote is two totally different thing!
Apple’s iPhone has an aggravating text notifications bug
If you’re not seeing notifications when new messages come in, you’re not alone.www.theverge.com
EGGGADDS...something wrong with an apple phone....say it ain't so Tim....
Connectivity issues!
I do have connection issues AS WELL. In places my andriod device has full service, my iPhone has NADA. And, NO. It's not missing "a few texts" as you fanboys like to state, it's missing ALL texts and phone calls unless I have the screen unlocked. Those texts and calls are MONEY to me since I use my phone for business.Missing a few text notifications………and what you wrote is two totally different thing!

If you feel so strongly about it…missing a few text notifications…then why not jump to Android? I hear that their text messaging platform is da bomb! Heck, Google itself has at least FIVE text messaging options…and Google itself has killed at least 3-5 of them over the past year! And then add in 3rd party…and it’s a party of messaging apps!! Oh wait, all of them suck donkey balls!

here you go. A much better fitting place for you. But then again, everyone already LOVES apple over there, and you can't try to convert people with bull over there. right. forgot. Terms and conditions. Tim must give you a healthy bonus every year hey?
Here is a good post by an Android user regarding messaging on Android:
“Just to add, there's tons of chefs in the Android kitchen. All trying to come up with their own versions of the same dish.
I hate it. I wish something can be done to unify more devices and versions of Android across the market so more folks are on the same page when it comes to a messaging service. There's just so much patchwork across Android. It's tiring.
Software support. Software support. Software support.”

The regular text messaging built into android works just fine. Never miss one on that. I don't use other crap. just like I don't use anything other than the backed in text messaging in iPhone. but that fails regularly.
Yet you don’t tell me what android device you have and must be so proud of. Lol

You should get Galaxy S21U. What is keeping you? Common sense?

and no, I am waiting for the new fold to come out. something apple will copy in a couple of years and claim they invented it.

You can’t get much newer than S21U which just came out 3 months ago.
Something sounds fishy here Lucy!
iPhone "belongs to Apple" is simply my perception and highlights the reason for my decision to change. I don't expect everyone/anyone else to agree with my perception.
I'm not so sure these OS will "meet in the middle" as right now there is a grand canyon between them as far as freedom. I would hope if that happens it would be because Apple made significant leaps forward rather than Android making significant leaps backward. But I don't think either will happen, frankly.
Agreed. I am done with the walled garden of apple. I cancelled all my apple services a couple of months ago and moved to other streams. It's much better too. I am using readly instead of News+, I pay the same amount and get 10 times the publications. I use spotify and amazon music, Prime video and microsoft 365 family plan. A much better value than apples family icloud service. The only thing left now is to sell my iphone and ipad and be gone. Thank god.
But it happened on your iPhone 8, right? So, you JUST got the iPhone 11 then. And if it happened on your 8 and then your 11 have it too…you wrote it, not me. YET, you still have the 11 or so claimed. Bad enough mind you that you bought a Samsung device and canceled all your Apple services (and even got on 3rd party stuff). Heck you even bought an Apple Watch To boot!
And in your own words……your wife’s iPhone works great! Heck, you even said that your son’s 6s is working great!
Didn’t you post this recently (a few days ago?): ”On my iPhone 8 they came in around 50% of the time and none when wearing my watch series 3. Now with the 11, it's probably 10 percent and none with my watch connected.”
Did you just get the 11? Why not return it? With all your issues, i am sure that Apple is more than happy to take back the 11.

It's about time this thread got closed down. It's got absolutely **** all to do with the title and as usual with these types of threads, descended into nonsense. Flagship phones are about personal preferences, not which one is the "best".
iPhone 12 / S21+. Happy now? Oh, and I also have a 2020 iPad Pro. But I don't need to blindly follow people around and ask them if they have seen the light and switched to our lord and savior apple yet, or come into the android forum and talk **** to everyone in here. AND, I also don't feel the need to put all of my apple gear in my signature to try and pull some sort of clout with the rest of the fold.

Bro, i am listing that because this is (shocking news!) Apple forum…just to show what i have at home that is Apple related. I could put in there my Ferrari and Porsches but then that would be lying.
. IF you feel that my signature gives me some clout OR that is how you view it, then so be it…hate to be you. Again, feel free to disprove anything that i have typed. No need to complain about factual things.
I honestly don't care if the mods want to edit my posts to protect your "feelings" or ban me for calling you out. Every single thread in here gets lambasted by fanboys trying to "prove" that they are right. I use "prove" loosely because as soon as someone points out the flaw in their logic they switch to a different topic. Typical apple loving behavior. "Apple right Android wrong".Bro, i am listing that because this is (shocking news!) Apple forum…just to show what i have at home that is Apple related.

Here's a tip - no one gives a damn what kind of "apple related" gear you own, so don't pretend that's why you do it.
/ignored.
Well hard to compare value, but for my $02.
- apple music is better than amazon and spotify. Not that amazon music is a slouch
- Prime at this point is better than A/T
- Microsoft 365, if one wants the Microsoft suite, is there really any alternative available. (no)
It's hard to compare value here amongst the services as what they provide intersect, but with different pushes to draw one in.
Let's see if we can get this back on the subject.....
I went from iPhone 11 Pro Max to Samsung Note 10+. These were my initial impressions last year:
So after I busted that phone I went to Note 20 Ultra. That has been a significant improvement. Fingerprint works much better, battery life is absolutely incredible, and they have since added Favorites to phone lists which is great.
As I mentioned previously, the kicker for me is freedom especially when it comes to copying files to the device and I don't worry about space with the ability to add microSD.
So yeah....at this point, I have firmly moved from the Apple camp to Samsung and no regrets.

OnePlus no longer has clean Android. It’s got its own crap Chinese OS on it. OnePlus also is an extremely shady company that I personally would not trust.

Depends where you are trading in your phone. Samsung often give good prices for their phones on trade in. Right now in the U.K. they are offering £200 for any phone even if it’s broken. Obviously more recent working phones will get you more.
I think I would go with a Pixel model too. LG and HTC are dead, Sony may as well be dead, and so it's down to sketchy China-based companies I would never trust or Samsung who is famous for bloatware. One of the PIxel phones seems like the last good option imo.
