I finally pick my phone (Page 2): 1 photo cropped to fit the phone screen isn't much of a problem. 100 of photos would be a problem. But of course you can use Icloud but any way I do...

Emailing is not the ICloud. Lots of people email photos all the time.

But emailing is going thru the internet. As I did point out, emailing is fine for a few photos but for a lot it's a pain. But for a lot I also said you can use the Icloud or some cloud storage. You can use MS one drive even. Still all of the ways making use of the internet. I prefer the simple USB cable. But as I said, IOS people like it that way. I was afraid of having to get used to Android but now I am sure I made the right move.

I've been using an iphone 8 for years and can download stuff from my Windows 10 computer to the phone quite easily using itunes. Including any pictures in the Pictures file on the computer.
Has that been discontinued in newer iphones?

Email, Icloud, Itune all of those work but I don't want to use the internet just to transfer files from 2 devices a foot apart.

You don’t have to.. Same as an android, you need an app.
iTunes is an apple iPhone/ipad app.
Quick and easy also gives you a backup of your phone in case of loss and you can sync ipad and iPhone data etc if you want.

First no app needed for the Android. Second with the app can you transfer a file from a PC or Mac to the Iphone without using internet? I mean from the PC or Mac to the Iphone. Not from the Iphone to the Mac or PC. The Itune can do a backup and restore but then the files must be orignated from the phone.

Don't know, don't really care. Can't be bothered to check just to make a point.
It's become sort of a silly conversation.

I had a really bad Windows phone at work, then after retirement, I got the Lumia 635. Best phone I ever had. But 3G isn't supported anymore, and I won't buy Android, so I got an iPhone SE. Recently upgraded to iPhone 12. Still wish I had the Lumia, though.

The people who developed the app really said how Apple doesn't want you to do that. I have no Iphone now and I am glad.

Great choice. The SA23 is an excellent phone. Also, I think Google maps on android is superior to (more accurate) the apple GPS. Android is much more widely used all over the world, which comes in handy if you need to swap sim cards in another country while traveling. AND you saved money!
