The tale as old as time. I have been using iPhones exclusively since the 3Gs. I have AirPods, an Apple Watch (that I’m selling as I don’t like the way it feels on my wrist), and an iPad. I currently have an iPhone 14+ and I love it. Works seamlessly and the battery life is wonderful. Even though I love this phone, I really really want to switch over to a Galaxy S23. I feel like I’m really constricted with iPhones now. I know it sounds stupid, but switching is hard as hell man. My wife uses an iPhones, 90% of my friends use iPhones, and my family does as well. I guess I’m just trying to get out of the herd mentality when it comes to iPhones. Nervous that I will get a phone I will regret getting. Rant over lol
There is always an android work around for ios exclusive stuff, but if it’s not built into ios, you’re fucked. The phone is for you, your family can figure it out, it’s not that hard. God forbid they show some flexibility to anything outside the ios bubble. There’s so much more to do in android, especially OneUI, and if you like having some choice in what your phone does, looks like, and making it completely your own, switch. I’ve always thought: If you want new, experimental, and interesting features, pick android. If you want 5 year old features optimized far beyond anything reasonable, pick ios. But you seem to be more the former than the latter.
