What is My User Experience of iPhone Over Six Years?

For over six years, I've been using an iPhone. During this time, I've experienced no operational problems. No hangs, crashes, sudden restarts, or even delays in opening applications. The camera is top-notch, and the user interface (UI) is both smooth and secure. Most importantly, there is no fear of viruses or malwares. The experience is simply great.

Through the various models, I've had - iPhone 4, 6S Plus, and 8 Plus - each one has significantly improved over the previous generation. My top reasons for upgrading include speed and camera quality. Although the iPhone 4's camera was considered poor by today's standards, it was quite good for 2010. The iPhone 6S and 8 Plus, on the other hand, have outstanding cameras with 2X optical zoom, portrait mode, and precise control over lighting and exposure. For someone like me who isn't a professional photographer, these features make me want to rely less on a DSLR.

Sleek and Smooth Performance

I find iOS to be smooth and efficient. It's speedy and rarely glitches or lags. Occasionally, apps may crash, but most of the time, they function without a hitch. Updates are delivered promptly and integrate seamlessly. I’ve tried beta versions of apps, and they are surprisingly good despite the early stage development.

One of the most impressive features of the iPhone is the superb software and hardware integration. Messages and other apps sync perfectly between my phone, iPad, and Apple Watch. There is virtually no latency between receiving messages on all three devices, and I can switch between devices without any disruption.

Hardware Solidity and Battery Performance

The durability of the hardware is commendable, with no issues reported thus far. The battery life is impressive, lasting all day even under heavy usage. Moreover, since the 8 Plus supports wireless charging and fast charging, I can choose the charging method that best suits my needs.

Conclusion

Overall, I consider the iPhone one of the smoothest mobile devices available on the market today. The software and hardware integration are remarkable, and the iOS app store is superb. With both front and rear cameras improving from the 6S onwards, these phones have become the go-to camera for everyday situations. Without considering price, the flagship phones are so advanced that other mobile companies often copy their features.

A personal rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars is due to the absence of the pixel camera and full-screen features, for which there is currently no competition.
