All devices are going through enshittification. Android and iOS alike.

Feature wise, you can pretty much get everything on both. One is maybe a bit more bouncy and the other a bit more squishy when you pull from the edge. But that’s about it.

Android provides a bit more customisation, iOS has better defaults and more embedded ecosystem.

Apple will now be forced to allow “side loading” (installing apps, actually) which Android had for ages. Google, on the other hand is making installations from non-Google Play sources more difficult.

Everybody will have their own preferences, but in the end on the Pro spectrum, differences are minimal.

Basically: pick your poison.

I’ve personally had Samsungs for a while and quite happy with them, even with some a annoyances. Still miss my S3. Others might have had different experiences.

There are Fairphones, PostmarketOS and other alternatives. Unfortunately though, if you’re looking for a premium phone, these are not there yet.

TL;DR Both suck about the same. Differences are in details. You’ll be about the same miserable with both.
