We both have android but she likes pink stuff and I wasn't seeing a lot of good options for phones and watches. Today I secretly bought her a pink iPhone 15 plus, pink apple watch 9, and an unfortunately white pair of airpods pro 2. She has no idea they're coming and I have no idea how she'll react to being moved to the apple ecosystem. Maybe if she likes it I'll eventually change over.

She's coming from a samsung galaxy s20+ and a galaxy watch 4

If she is not wanting to convert be prepared for no positive reactions for the money your spent. I hope she is thrilled, just be prepared.

Come back in February and let us know how it works out.

Lmao if I get demoted to the couch for this I'll just keep them for myself, I can rock the pink.... probably

[–] Crack_uv_N0on@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hope she likes pink. I have found out (from my wife and other women) that being female does not automatically mean liking pink. For example, how do pink clothing and accessories play a part of her wardrobe?

Depending on how she uses her Samsung, she will have fun. I went from Samsung to iPhone 14 plus has March. Some things I like better on each. My Samsung is still my calendar and contact list, plus my gmail and on WiFi. The iPhone is my voice and text toy.

Is she a gadget/tech/phone person?

I do a ton of research before I buy anything and this would be an area I would not like to be surprised.

If that is not her, I hope she enjoys it.

[–] Few-Chef4380@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not at all haha, I've made pretty much every tech decision and purchase for her in our ten years together

I'm imagining it'll be an adjustment period where I teach her how to use it, but not worried outside of that. The better battery life and faster processor should win her over.

You should have mentioned you wanted to buy an iPad too see if she say, I hate iPhones etc

I tried iPhones in 2012- I think I had a 3…. What impressed me about it was how intuitive its use is. The only instruction I needed was my 5th grade student showing me to double press home to close apps. 😂

Whenever I picked up my husband’s android phone, it was confusing.

I’m up to 7 plus as of a few years ago, and just ordered a 12 pro.

Signing up for the update 😂

Colorware offers very high-quality painting for your Apple products, including the AirPods. You should check them out and consider doing them in pink.

She may not like it.

[–] Hot-Independence6020@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We need an update, good luck mate ! You are a good man

[–] Bijorak@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I tried to have my wife try an iPhone just to see if she liked it. She was back at at&t the next day to get an Android.

[–] TexasFury2000@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You can get the AirPods wrapped in pink.

[–] MrsBenSolo1977@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Awesome you’re thoughtful

[–] nycdiveshack@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m just glad this title is for a post in an iPhone sub not r/amitheasshole

[–] Maywestpie@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If things don’t work out with her… 🙋‍♀️

[–] mombun24_7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’s one heck of a present! She’s going to love it!

[–] metafruit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Don't downvote me, but I think you need to want to convert if you're switching to iOS. I use ipadOs and apple silicon macOS but I don't think I would want to switch to an iPhone from my Samsung.

Coming from a s20 maybe she'll ask where the mini sd expansion port is..... hope you got lots of storage.

[–] JC6596@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

iCloud is also a option if you mainly use storage on photos,

I personally don't like icloud, as I like to just put in 1tb of external memory and only just buy the card and not pay to use that service all the time. I also have a 4gig mobile plan. Not beneficial for me, but could be for OP.

[–] StabbedCow@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not beneficial for me at all and will never be cuz sadly they corrupted our government, UMIRAM3

[–] awildboop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Get her a nice pink airpod case :)
