I like the variety of hardware available, and the customization available in the software, especially with third party launchers.

I recently started using Niagra Launcher, love the minimal design it has.

Curious if Niagra affects phone performance? I love the look of it, but my Pixel 3 is aging.

I haven’t noticed performance issues or any battery drain on my S22 Ultra

Don’t like Apple’s anti consumer attitude, same reason I don’t buy Nintendo products.

I dislike Apple alot, stupidly Expensive, more than they devices worth, very restrictive on what you can do with them (treat their customers as kids) and their monopoly.

There is also a wide variety of Android phones with different price ranges, and features (like my beloved headphone jacks), wider customisation and a somewhat better repaiability sometimes.

things I dislike about Apple + things I like about android = preference.

I agree with almost everything you’ve said, but how do you consider Apple a monopoly?

I first made the switch to android after my iphone 5 died and found out the newer models wouldn’t have an aux output. I have significantly more chances to use a 3.5mm plug than bluetooth in my life, so it was an easy choice.

7 years later, and I still have the same phone. No bloat, and updated the way I want it. I charge it once per day at high-performance mode, and the battery is holding strong.

I keep an iphone dongle in my car for friends, because I am a gentleman, but they always remark on how easy it would be to just have the damn aux port.

Which brand is your Android phone and are you running an alternative Android-based OS like /e/ or LineageOS?

iOS is confusing as hell and extremely limiting.

I will agree it’s limiting, but it isn’t anywhere close to confusing. The one thing I will say is that some app settings are tucked away in the iOS settings app, which I would prefer them to be in the actual app.

Beyond that, I don’t find it confusing at all.

Both are correct. You can hand an iPhone to a 3 year old and they’ll figure it out. If you’re used to Android and care about changing things or accessing files, iPhone is a pain in the butt.

There’s always a learning curve going from one thing to another. Like you said, going from Android to iOS, learning the UI and where things are placed may take some time to get used to at first. I went from Android to an iPhone 12 a couple years ago, and it took some time to learn. Same goes for switching from iOS to Android. That being said, it doesn’t mean the UI is confusing.
