      yes true, i think with steady wifi calling now it’s not a big deal, the bigger deal is number 2 and 3

      i do work in locations where there is only starlink and iphone seems to fair better for message and video, imo

    Iphone gives less opportunity for user “ownership” of our devices.

    But I doubt there are many people who haven’t made personal sacrifices for loved ones.

      yes, well i love android, and i’m not switching because i’m unhappy, actually the contrary, but was just voicing my thoughts, it’s just purely a personal decision and nothing to do with the experience as i’m sure getting used to iphone won’t be so seamless but i’m going to give it a shot

    Wrong direction, pal. Yeah five to ten years ago maybe. But iPhone is sucking and sucking worse by the goddamn hour nowadays. I’m pretty sure I am on my last Apple device. I’m pretty sure the day Steve Jobs died, the board of directors all did a collective hands-together-shuffle and said okay, boys, now we can dispense with this silly insistence on perfection, and start to rake in some easy lazy money by shoveling dung.

    Meanwhile, Android started to get more reliable and better performing rather rapidly. There’s such a wide variety of options and all except the top top at far better prices. iPhone is stagnant. They JUST implemented the ability to place icons however you want - like Android has done since day 1, and it’s buggy as hell. They take away good features because they decide they don’t like how it looks. They haven’t made anything significantly better in a long time, and autocorrect is at this point just off the rails.

    Find a nice Android device don’t switch.
