  That’s one of the big ones. Also phones with SD card slots and headphone jacks.

  Just about. There used to be more, but if im honest, if it works in iOS then its a decent experience most of the time.

  But my custom apps makes or breaks my phone. Its so convenient.

    iOS is infinitely more polished than Android. It’s rather stable and at least the main notification system isn’t that bad for privacy.

      Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO’s iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can’t really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.

      That being said I’ll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I’m tired of corporations trying to control my devices.

        Well I’m using graphene and it’s so laggy and can’t keep more than one app open at a time, so.

      Its terrible for security haha. We were able to 0 day it a couple of times without trying all that hard. So many CVEs that are repeatable. I wil admit the UI is phenominally better (in my opinion). And the official apps (as long as you dont want to do something specific) are perfect at what they do.

      Android is a bit better but you can exploit it because people dont update their phones. Google is actually VERY good at keep those up to date…but if no one updates, its kinda a wash.

      Again my opinion, im not too attached to either. They both suck in their own unique ways. #1 is you have to use their tool sets which is unique instead of any other computer system. Its such a hassle to keep up with as a software developer.

        I was just talking about the notification system which doesn’t require something that uploads your location to Google 24/7
