Samsung to iphone

Kanan · Feb 9, 2022

I have a S10 from release back in 2019 and I'm slowly thinking about switching phone, I have a few questions regarding this:

A) can I take any photos or mp3 data with me? Is it easy or hard?

B) will there be any help delivered with the device, for someone like me that changes systems, to do so?

Yea pretty much it, thanks for any help.

Just cloud storage switch your data.

What help are you expecting? It's a phone. Just use it.

A) should be easy, follow Toothless's recommendation.

B) can get super complicated. For example it is extremely difficult to move WhatsApp from Android to Apple. Do take stock of the program/app/software stack you use, and the ease of transition for each.

I don't really use the cloud, I have a lot of data, big amounts. Is this about Google drive? I don’t think it's big enough for that. Does Apple still block mp3s?

Do you mean the account transition of whatsapp or everything, including messages and files?

I switched from an S9 to an iPhone 11 a couple days ago, it's been pretty easy. I just use the google apps on iPhone and my stuff is there. Pictures and music and such can be moved manually.

Somehow I have the impression / past experience that iOS is very closed down, maybe it's bullshit.

Not sure if moving lots of data to iPhone is the best idea, given the price of storage. If you want to transfer the data there is an app "Move to iOS" which you can check it out. As for MP3s, its not blocked, its just not natively supported. There is a workaround (typically through another media player e.g. VLC) .

Yes, account transition. So far my friends have sacrificed their WhatsApp chat history moving to iPhone instead of dealing with the hassle.

Moving from one garden to the next is going to be a big hassle, no matter if its Android <-> iOS, or MacOS <-> Windows <-> Linux. I use iPad and Android phone, so far my data flows seamlessly though Google Cloud (drive, etc.). A bit of a hassle to get the data to flow smoothly from Android/iOS to Windows though, but not insurmountable.

Internet says possible, through 3rd party apps. I personally have no experience, nor have I seen my social circle manage the transition before.

Alright, very useful answers. Thanks to everyone!

Maybe I'll update it later as soon as I have the phone (but will still take some time) thanks again.

I wouldn't switch just bc there's no SD Card slot or Just the way Apple is

kibasnowpaw · May 1, 2022

I have never used an iPhone in my life. All my smartphones have been Android, and my last Android was an Asus rog II, but it broke, so I got myself an iPhone 13 pro as my first iPhone, and I find it easy to use just as easy as Android even if some app I use is not on the apple store then I'm delighted for this phone even if I don't like Apple as a firm, In fact, I'm writing this on the iPhone as we speak which is something I wouldn't have bothered on the Android.

theFOoL · May 1, 2022

The one thing I hate is they just want yo money. They update earlier iPhones which in turn slows the phone to a crawl. No iPhone here. All about the LG V20 and removal batteries

Deleted member 24505 · May 1, 2022

All ios/Iphones need is drag and drop for putting music/videos on the phone instead of the itunes crap, then it would be much better indeed.

X71200 · May 1, 2022

I wouldn't bother, not just because S10 is still a good phone, but also because I wouldn't shell out big money to Apple. Get yourself a fancy Realme GT or something if you NEED to upgrade your phone (i.e, give the old one to mom). Otherwise this just seems like an unnecessary purchase.

theFOoL · May 1, 2022

The one thing I hear is people think phone's are built in the USA ha I laughed. All phones are made in China or elsewhere but the USA. Not all phone companies are bad people! Samsung isn't the only one out there

Not everyone takes their phones apart like you. I can't remember the last time I took apart a phone.

I use Spotify always have but have you tried to open the phone via USB and see if you can I have not tried that yet.

Samsung is shit, I've used Samsung since S2, and my last Samsung phone was the S9. When S10 came out, it was too costly, and they also made the backside 100% glass, at least on the S9, so if it cracked, then the whole backside would fall off, and that's bad and is one of the reasons I stopped using Samsung and got me an Asus rog II At the time.

samsungs low point was between the S6 and S9, since the S10 they've been going uphill at a good pace.
Ignoring pricing (because EVERY brand went up) they fixed a lot of their hardware issues (the S22 and 22+ are flat screens not curved, for example) and they've truly improved their software - i just moved FROM pixel to samsung because samsung has faster, better updates :/
(The one exception is if you get lumped with an Exynos samsung - avoid those)

iPhones dont make it easy to transfer from, they do the bare minimum. Because of the closed garden of iMessage, you cant really transfer anything there and the lack of a file browser means you cant move videos and photos, you have to move them to apples cloud storage, and re-download them (which also often compresses/re-encodes them)

What kept me away from Samsung were price, Phone design, battery, and software. Although they may have gotten better, I can't say I stop follow up on them after S10, and I chose to get the Asus Rog 2 over S10, and I loved that phone. It's three years old now, and the only problem is I don't have a signal on it may be an easy fix it may not be, but I chose to get an iPhone 13 pro just in case it was not since I can't live without a working phone and I don't know when I get the time to look at it.

X71200 · May 1, 2022

Yeah, Samsung isn't really shit. I personally prefer some BBK products cause I've gotten better value from there (and the phone has been great), but some Samsung phones are solid nowadays. Especially the A52. Price isn't too bad on that phone either. Wouldn't count on gaming phones at all.

Hi,
Phone providers some times offer migration phone to phone so you might ask them.

There are other phones with very solid batteries as well. Screen, yeah, they calibrate damn well. Though there are other companies using great OLEDs too...

Oh you must be talking about the scandalous 4S. How they slowed it down when it detected your battery was past its peak. I had an S3 with an old battery in it, and it would just shut off when it came time to do something. If my iPhone did that I would say the same things I said about my Samsung. I have a XS Max from 2018, battery life is still 90%, runs the newest iOS just fine.. and it still lasts me all day. So.. say what you will, but at least get with the times.
