The big things keeping me from leaving my life-long Android dedication is that Apple doesn’t allow sideloading apps, browsers other than Safari and Safari reskins, any type of home screen customization, and messaging with RCS.
3 out of 4 of those issues are very likely to be resolved this year… so there’s little reason to stick with Google, imo, given how shit their services have become over the last 5 years.
I admire Apple for their hardware, ecosystem consistency, and software consistency. But their walled garden approach is just too closed off for my use.
If they were to open things up a bit, allow for more flexibility, I really think they could capture a huge chunk of users that are fed up with Samsung and Google.
Definitely. The battery life and stuttering issues on Pixels devices are not up to the standards of their price range. Samsung is a bit better, but when you compare it to iPhones, those just seem more “polished”?

You bring a good point. I’m curious about what a “more open” iOS could give in terms of experience. Could be a real blow to Samsung
