👍 What’s Great

  • Photography & Zoom: With a 200 MP main sensor and versatile telephoto lenses, it’s one of the best for zoom and detail. Advanced features for low light and AI editing make it powerful.

  • Build Quality: Using titanium and Gorilla Glass Armor gives it a premium feel and stronger durability.

  • Display: Bright, flat, colour‑accurate, low reflection display helps outdoors and in bright light.

  • Software Support: 7 OS updates is generous, meaning long usability.

  • AI Tools: New features like photo editing suggestions, Generative Edit, Circle to Search, etc. add value beyond just hardware.

⚠️ Things to Watch Out For

  • Size & Weight: At ~232‑233g, it’s on the heavier side. Big phones are not always the most comfortable for everyone. GSMArena+1

  • Charger Not Included: As with many flagships nowadays, you have to buy the fast charger separately. mint+1

  • Zoom vs Periscope Trade‑offs: The 5× telephoto is good, but some users may miss the 10× periscope lens of other phones for long‑distance clarity. Digital zoom beyond 10× starts losing sharpness. The Hindu

  👍 What iPhones Typically Do Well Long‑term software support — iPhones tend to get many years of iOS updates and security patches. Integration & ecosystem — If you use other Apple devices (Mac, iPad, Apple Watch), things tend to work smoothly together (continuity, AirDrop, etc.). Build quality & design — Premium materials, good attention to detail. Camera consistency — Even if not always the most spec‑heavy, the iPhones are known for producing consistent image/video quality. Privacy & security features are strong (Apple emphasizes this). ⚠️ Things to Consider / Trade‑Offs Price — Premium pricing tends to be high. Limited hardware customization — No micro‑SD, no removable battery, etc. Charging speed — Usually lags some Android competitors in raw wattage fast‑charging. Port & accessory restrictions — Depending on model (Lightning / USB‑C etc.), adapter needs etc.
