Everyone has their preferences, I would love to hear why you guys prefer using Android!
Browser choice. Actually browser ENGINE choice. And the ability to set my own default apps, including the launcher.
F-droid. Side loading.
If you use any app other than what Apple provides, you become a second class citizen on your own phone.
Third party apps simply don’t integrate with iOS nicely unless Apple allows it. Even though you can choose a web browser, it has to use Safari’s underlying code base.
I’m on a Pixel 7. A lot of people say it’s like Google’s iPhone, but I can use Firefox as my browser natively. Adblocking actually works, too. I can choose any app as a default for whatever. Lots of FOSS! Google doesn’t own my Pixel the same way Apple owns the iPhone.

- Firefox with addons
- NewPipe with SponsorBlock
- USB type C
- Custom ROMs
- APK Sideloading
- USB Debugging for testing my Godot projects directly on the phone
- No apple tax
- Maybe more…
other linux phones are not really viable. I dont like supporting apple and even if I didnt care about that, their iOS is far too restrictive.

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.
