So, I'll admit. I was bored. I've owned iPhones since the 4s. And the XS Max being almost exactly the same form factor since the 6....was kind of weighing on me. Nothing was new anymore. And when I looked at the 11 Pro Max, I couldn't get excited.
So I bought a Note 20 Ultra. What a beautiful device! Incredible screen! Buttery smooth 120 hz. Battery that barely lasted through a day, but hey....at least it was beautiful when the display had power. And all the customization options! I could make my phone look like a circus funhouse like the rest of the Android Drones. Yay!
And then I needed the phone to work. Connect to my motorcycle Sena headset? Not easily. Use the Google assistant through the headset to control music? Not happening. Connecting to bluetooth in my car was a multistep process. Getting a wifi hotspot to work was more multiple steps...."oh, I have to turn off developer mode that I needed to turn on to get something ELSE to work....". Click on a link in Outlook to open a meeting in GoToWebinar and it opens the app and requires the meeting ID....that I can't find. Switch to my iPad and I'm in in seconds. 5 minutes late to a meeting because Android.
Bottom line, I'm a tech geek. I build mining rigs and gaming PCs. I'm an animator and designer and use the Creative Cloud for a living....on PC. I'm not technically uninclined. I'm the IT department for my sphere of influence. But the Droid fanboys try to say iPhones are for people that are not tech savvy.
No! iPhones are for people that want their phones to just work! Sometimes boring is a good thing. We get bored because everything works and functions like it should.
Selling the Note 20 Ultra and getting a 12 Pro Max as soon as they're available, and they can't be available soon enough!
