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

If good multiple cameras is what you look for in a phone, you can’t go wrong with a Google Pixel. It comes with a clean OS as well. Don’t listen to the others who say to flash a custom ROM, as doing that will gimp the phone’s experience and potentially stop some of the apps from running.

The only things affected might be some banking apps and google nfc payments. Graphene OS is still the best alternative for Pixel Android for both privacy and security.

I agree that Graphene OS is the best alternative far privacy and security, but we’re giving advice to an iPhone user who probably expects their phone to just work. The OS can always be flashed later if the phone is a Google Pixel.

Well, I mean Graphene has a web installer via chrome, making it on par with standard Google web installers. It’s not difficult, but I agree regarding the works out-of-the-box part of any argument. When looking for the closest equivalent for ios, Pixel is the only true alternative.
