Got my first Iphone

It’s an iPhone 15. And it’s impossible to work. Have had androids all my life.
Can’t figure out how to move through open windows ,so much is confusing and weird and of course there is no little booklet that shows how to use it.

This is pissing me off

Can’t get it to work with google keeps saying passwords are wrong I am so pissed off.I am scared I have lost all my passwords and photos etc.

So much would be better for me if apple bothered to add a fucking booklet.

Been hopping mad all evening.

My last 2 phones have been Pixels and they have worked really well for me. Always have phones with Android OS, and know the system pretty well....as a user. I bank and use Youtube Music in my car. Internet browsers work fine, I'm very happen with my Pro 6A-XL.

Made a random phone number from my friends list unable to call.It was apparently a glitch in an update and they have not bothered to fix it
I had enough of it.

Biggest tip. slowly swipe up from bottom to shrink window to half size. To get rid of it, swipe up quickly.

But I decided to keep it, since I got a case that finally lets me hold onto it with just one hand and not feel like it was going to slip and drop. I had the smaller SE for years but wanted to get a really good camera, which the 15 has. My new case also has a lens cover, protecting which was a major concern of mine.

There are some operational questions. There is a 30 minute consultation available with Apple to get you up and running. I haven't had time to schedule that yet. Maybe this is only available because I bought the phone at the Apple store, I don't know, but I'm throwing out this idea in case you have that available to you.

Hoping you can get your concerns solved....

But she did sign up for the iphone orientation at out local Apple store, but I bought the phone from a Verizon store. I guess it doesn't matter to Apple where you bought the phone.

It took me a couple of days to get used to the apple device and I gradually came to prefer it to the Samsung. I bought an iphone for my wife for Christmas and she made the adjustment from Samsung quite quickly and just loves it.

But in the end it's just a matter of personal preference.

I have an iPhone 15 myself and have been into iPhones thru several generations now. Have had a few work phones mostly Android but Apple also. I personally dislike the Android OS, it isn’t as user friendly as Apple. Take your time, the learning curve with Apple is much easier than with Android.

excellent you have a friend with one. Doesn’t matter which version they have as all work pretty much the same which makes upgrading super simple.
