I swapped from a lifetime of android, to a 15PM im not missing much nowadays. The only major feature id say is split screen but PiP does the trick most of the time for that, while not as perfect that and the keyboard being a bit slower would be the only "downgrades" i could come up with in a month of use.
The list of things that have worked better is a lot longer, the bt and cellular modem is miles better than my old pixel 6 pro, the high refresh rate screen actually delivers high framerates more of the time and the apple intergration is so much more cohesive than googles hodge podge of integration
This is such a consumerism comment. You are buying a closed garden ecosystem and encouraging lack of choice from a terrible company. Maybe you don't value actual freedom with your devices, but if you have even the slightest curiosity with how your phone is operating then you'd realize iPhones are designed for the lowest common denominator and to be used one way. It discourages any other competing brands from using its software. It heavily nerfs anything that isn't an Apple product. It's all closed source and proprietary. It's anti consumer. There's more to phones then opening up the app store, installing app, and opening app from home screen.
True. But to be fair, Android as it normally comes is shit too. 90% open source still leaves room for Googles Tracking.
For me the features I need aren’t part of aosp. So I’m using closed source now anyways. Sure it’s running on an open source platform, but it seems Google wants Android to be like Apple. Then I might just as well use Apples products as their ecosystem is a lot more refined.
That's not even true nor does that make sense lol
You do know that Googles apps are all closed source right? Have you ever even tried any aosp rom? Go and have a look. There’s not much there.
Yes, I'm writing this from GrapheneOS
