Not much selection on Zedge, but I'm giving you Bam Bam.

Ask an iPhone user to pull up a text or what have you and it's done in .05 seconds.. ask a Droid guy and it always takes 5 minutes.. lol.

Honestly, I haven't noticed any significant differences in operation. There are some small things I miss about my S9. I did some driving today. I was less than impressed with Siri's ability to find places that I wanted to go and start navigation. "Hey Google" worked much better for this function and worked seamlessly with maps (as it should). Apple Car play worked well. It's probably a setting issue but Siri couldn't open Pandora. I had to open it in carplay. I never had issues saying "hey Google, play pandora". I'm sure I'm missing something in settings to make things work better but I didn't have to do anything to get maps or pandora to work with Andriod Auto.

If you have an Android device, there are a lot of options. For example, my text notification is Arnold saying "put that cookie down now!". My default ringtone is AC/DC shook me all night long. Can't find either on the iPhone Zedge app. Go onto the zedge site and surf their ringtones and notifications. There's WAY more than appears on the app on the iPhone. There's a work around. You download the tone to a file on the phone. You open Garage band, select the file and the ringtone, and save it as a ringtone. Kind of a PITA but it gets me what I wanted.

I've found something I'll actually miss in going from Samsung to Apple... the Bixby alarm. It wakes me up with a nice voice telling me the time, temperature and the news of the day. I haven't found anything like it so far for Apple.
