Switching to a new smartphone operating system often comes with a learning curve and growing pains.
The iPhone and Android operating systems are both completely different, so naturally making the jump from one to the other will cause you to miss some functions and features.
A thread on Reddit asked users who recently converted from the iPhone to Android what they missed the most about their former Apple devices.
One recent switcher said, "an Android device feels like a computer, with mobile features added in. I just feel like I can get more work done on my Nexus. There's flow. A normal workflow on iOS involves copious use of the home button, copying, pasting, scrolling trying to find an app, rinse, repeat."
One user surprisingly missed the iPhone's battery life.
"I miss the battery life, hardware design, the case and accessory ecosystem, Safari, iMessage, FindmyiPhone, hardware silent switch, game selection, iCloud device backups, higher quality version of some 3rd party apps (like Facebook or Rdio), OS updates with no delay, iCloud photo stream sharing and the device build quality."

Others complained about missing particular apps.
"I missed the Tweetbot [iPhone Twitter app] and Alien Blue [iPhone Reddit app] apps for a while, but the benefits are now faded from my memory. Moving to Android made me feel like iOS was old fashioned. It took me some time to change over as I have used almost exclusively Apple products for over a decade but I am glad that I did."

A lack of compatible Android accessories also left something to be desired.
"I miss accessories being everywhere," one user said. "There are way more accessories out there for iPhone vs your android devices because the android market is much more fragmented."
