I am going to be switching back to iPhone due to work related concerns. Which is iMessage, it is more reliable than cell networks. I work at a job to where I cannot afford the occasional late or never received text message. Everyone I work with has an iPhone. While I don't mind iOS it is most definitely not my preferred phone OS.
Currently I have the note 9 which I will say is an absolute amazing device. There are some things I am rely on a lot that this phone does. That is the phone is completely automated when it comes to settings such as wifi and ringer volume as well as screen brightness.
I have it set to when I arrive at the office my ringer turns off when I connect to my work wifi. The ringer then turns on when it connects to my sync 3 in my car. I also have the screen set to dim at 9pm and when I am connect to my wifi the phone is in an unlocked state. I have also set up to where I get notifications on my google home for texts messages. I also have my lights set up to turn off and on based on the phones distance from my room. As you can see this is an insanely powerful device and I have it set up to pretty much do most everything automatically. I used scheduled text messages a lot to send texts automatically at a certain date and time.
I know that there is a thing called shortcuts for Siri and I am sure I can program a lot of actions to take care of some of these things I have set up. I know for a fact that I cannot get notifications from an iPhone on my google home and I can't turn lights on and off based on phone proximity to my room. Those 2 actions are set up using a program call tasker.
My question comes down to how much of what I can do with the note 9 can I do with iOS 12 and the XS Max? I also still have a series 3 Apple Watch that I decided to hold onto.
Thank you in advance for any tips and work arounds.
