Yep. It's actually kind of soured me on Android a bit, which sucks because I've been completely content with my S25 Ultra. Wish I never tried this phone because now I'm sitting here knowing that the iOS process is seamlessly and Samsung can't handle it.
Not a hiccup other than the purchase process for me. Smart switch couldn't have been quicker or easier. No way I'd prefer, or take my S24 Ultra back and I SURE don't miss iOS. ;)

Well figured out why it discharged when on its wireless charger, apparently the camera bump caused it to not have enough contact with the coils on the larger chargers. So now I had to go back to my Apple Magsafe charger which ironically is probably gonna be the best charger I have for this thing since the Samsung one is just too large and won't have good coil contacts.

Other than my Watch, everything charges fine w/ USB-C. I figure contact coils, even with good connection, have to generate more heat .;)

I'm around 7.2 but don't ever look at it tbh .
That's where mine hangs around ( at idle, drops to mid 6s after optimization, but then quickly jumps to 7.2 - 7.4 ) // Thank you for responding!! Looks like it's normal. :)

I'm not for keeping RAM free ( ofcourse wouldn't want the pressure in Red ) but this looked a bit off the normal curve so started wondering!

Really, even your original post on this you were not sure what caused your issues, now it's fact lol

I helped my sister 3 years back upgrade her Iphone and it was not a seamless experience YMMV

I agree that iPhone upgrades are not always seamless as we expect. I recently upgraded my parents to iPhone 16 Pro.

The upgrade from iPhone 13 to 16 Pro went smooth, whereas the iPhone 13 mini to 16 Pro got stuck mid-migration. Good thing I had a full backup on my Mac and just restored it to the second 16 Pro. I guess it wasn't too bad, but took a few extra hours.

Turns out the Fold 7 is indeed the thinnest (close 2nd place if you factor camera bump). The Honor Magic V5 with the self-proclaimed "world's thinnest" title actually ends up being thickest among its peers. Well done, Samsung.

I guess Samsung made the right design decision to go thinner at the expense of the S Pen. Including S Pen would only appease a relatively small contingent while making the phone both thicker and even more expensive.
