For a while now I often use/have two smartphones. With that, I turned off iMessage and FaceTime on iOS, so I could switch back and forth on the fly.

This week, I started using my iPhone XS Max and Apple Watch again, as primary.

I am seriously considering getting back into purely iOS. And, I’d need to consider upgrading my second line later this year, with an iOS device. Even more so since I have Apple Care on all iOS devices (iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and iMac). Also feeling like I am wasting these services, with the devices sitting in a drawer.

Anyway, not even sure why I felt the need to ‘share’ this on the internet. Maybe more of simply communicating with others.

But...
 
No brainer really, who has a max and aw4 sitting in a draw lol :) I have the same as you. I like to take a photo with your iPhone and it’s instantly on you iMac and iPad, same with immesage/messages.

And that latter part right there, is something I miss. Especially when sitting on the sofa with my iPad...

Google Photos is definitely faster than the Apple Photos app but there's no iMessage equivalent on Android AND Google Photos is supported on iOS.

Welcome back. Sell that dastardly S9 now so you aren't tempted again!

I would seriously like to play with an S10 by the way. I had an S4 years ago, my only (1 year long) break from Apple and I have never seen anything tempting enough to make me leave again. That and our family is so deep in the iOS stratosphere we couldn't leave if we wanted to.
