Comment on Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships

I do admit the phones look cool and have some very nice features. But they’ve been on my “never buy” list for a long time for all their products, phones included.
I think not being able to uninstall Facebook was one of the breaking points when I last trialed their phone.

Eww, yeah that’s not cool. Was that Samsung forcing that on the phone or the carrier? I know US carries are atrocious for their uninstallable apps like that. Regardless shame on Samsung and the others for allowing it. The only apps that came on mine were Samsung apps.
Regardless, your dislike is completely justified. I really wish someone else could step up and make the phone we need. Repairable, jack/slot, small-midsize, proper updates, but I just don’t think the market is there. The iphone-ification of smartphones is basically complete, and now Microsoft is trying to do it to the desktop. In the future there’s going to be a lot of old people telling stories to their grandkids about how they used to own a computer and choose what was installed…
