I transitioned from the Pixel 7 to the iPhone 15 Pro last year. I throughly enjoyed the Pixel line of phones: 5,6,7. The reason that I switched is security. No other reason. I don't really like the way the iPhone works. Everything is a struggle. Syncing movies, tunes, pics across. Nothing.
But I now have an iPhone. So I figured another year hopefully the OS will get better and the phone experience will be better. I purchased the iPhone 16 Pro. The migration from 15 Pro to the 16 Pro was a nightmare. The swirly bubble on the 16 did not align with the 15 so I clicked on the option to Set it Up Manually. It took 5 minutes to complete. So that was a plus. But my Gmail, phone carrier and banking app would not work. Period. I spent an hour on the phone with a senior Apple adviser. Nothing accomplished.
The strange thing is that when I transitioned from the Pixel 7 to the iPhone 15 Pro it went like a charm. No issues. No hassles.
However, when I attempted to transition from iPhone 15 Pro to iPhone 16 Pro it was a mess and a nightmare.
I am on the phone now with Apple to arrange for a return of the iPhone 16 Pro.
And that too is taking an inordinate amount of time.
Apple has become too big for its britches and can no longer manage simple matters like transitions from one current phone model to another phone model.
Sad. Next upgrade will be from the iPhone 15 Pro to the Pixel Fold. I don't really need or use the banking app.
