I switched to iphone from android four months ago, and I am still annoyed by the UI. It takes me 3-5 swipes or taps to get common functions to work (like opening notifications or closing tabs in safari), whereas Android/Samsung seems to be one tap for everything. The face unlock feature is just inferior to the thumbprint. Moving a cursor around to edit text works by some fiendish logic that I haven't been able to decipher. The lack of timestamps on text messages is a real wtf. Today I needed to know the time down to the seconds and it was seemingly impossible, only offering time to the nearest minute in the app. Android has a simple way to configure your phone for sleep, Apple's is way more complicated. Apple's alarm doesn't have that helpful "in 8 hours and 22 minutes" note that pops up to prevent an incorrect time.
It is fast and seems to be maintaining speed, and the app store makes a trustable walled garden, so that's nice.
Although I might be a bit of an Apple fan, I’m not an Apple evangelist. I think people’s technology choices are up to them and what works for one doesn’t always work for others. So it would be interesting to know what prompted the change from Android to iPhone. I also found the UI a bit jarring when switching, but after a week or so it seemed natural enough. I did have a quick look to see if I could find out how to get the time of a text message down to the second and came up with nothing. I guess that’s one of those annoying Apple things.
By the way there is a "deliberate" mistake in the images. Any ideas?

Thanks for your feedback.
