I own both, a iphone X for work and a cheap Motorola G series phone (200 euro).

I prefer my Android phone, the customization, ease of use. With Android you feel more like an Admin, iphone you are just a user for overpriced stuff

I have an iPhone, but I’d probably prefer an Android just because you can install things from outside the App Store.

After disabling a million warnings, being constantly reminded you should not do it, and i wont be surprised if future versions will require rooting for doing so.

I have always been an android user, but honewtly, if libre android OSes didnt exist, i would have been an iphone user already.

It’s literally just one toggle? It’s been the same for over a decade.

The constant reminders are untoggleable.

With all my due respect, iOS is even worse. They don’t provide access to the file system of their phones/tablets, still refuse to open iMessage to rival OSes, they don’t even release their apps for other operating systems.

You can’t for example backup WhatsApp on Android and restore your backup on iOS.

They don’t support Bluetooth file transfer and they are/were requiring to develop their apps on macOS. Not to forget all those lawsuits they filed against Samsung and other Android manufacturers at the beginning of the smartphone revolution.

A important thing, that a lot of people here seem to forget: teenagers are more likely to be influenced by fashion trends, than reason, but they aren’t stupid.

I dunno, I’d call that one of the definitions of stupid. Not that they are necessarily overall stupid, but IMO being influenced by fashion trends without reasoning about it is a stupid trait (in kids or adults).

Please tell me that I’m not the only person who immediately thought of this when reading “droid”
