The real problem is that you sacrifice privacy for quality of life.

I have had so many fucking bugs with my iPhone 13 Pro Max:

The camera fucking SUCKS, even compared to my pixel 2 xl. Every photo looks like a cheap watercolor. And the computational photography (night mode) is fucking terrible. The image stabilization is nonexistent compared to the pixel 2 xl, and don’t even get me started on video stabilization

The keyboard will randomly get earsplittingly loud for no reason at all and will have huge typing delay.

Notifications are just worse

My messages app crashes frequently, and contact pictures refuse to show up about half the time

They keyboard is fucking awful compared to gboard, and the iOS gboard isn’t good

Google assistant is orders of magnitude better than Siri, and let’s be real: if you use any assistant it is going to listen to you

Apple Maps is terrible compared to google maps, and apple optionally chooses to gimp the lock screen navigation of everything besides Apple Maps (also yelp )

Voice typing is truly horrendous

The notes app is shit, just doesn’t work very well

I could keep going, but having been on apple thrice and android 4 times, I’m throughly done with apple unless they make some MASSIVE changes
