Male Female

I usually don't buy any gadgets that are expensive. The one and only gadget that cost almost 1,25,000 is my iPhone. It was an anniversary gift from my husband. I was used to an Android phone. I didn't know how to use it or how to install proper apps on the iPhone because the system is entirely different compared to the Android phone. I was inclined towards Android phones because I knew every technical part of that Android phone, but with the iPhone, I struggled a lot at first because I didn't know the documentation on how to install apps. Some apps were not working, and when it came to sharing, if I had to share my data with another person, it also took a lot of time. It was not possible to transfer data from an iPhone to a normal Android phone. Initially, I decided that I needed an Android phone as a second device for my daily and official work because it would be more suitable for me. But my husband told me this was too expensive; he gifted this to me for my use, so I should learn everything about it. I spent almost one week learning all the technical areas, as well as how to install new apps and how to use them.
