I can't speak for stock android, but I can say AOSP (GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, lineageOS and such) is a much better experience than iOS.

The free software ecosystem is nice cause the mobile apps are way more functional. You can do almost anything you can do on your laptop. Syncthing, K-9 mail, newpipe, firefox (with ublock), orbot, libretorrent, etc. are a few pretty good reasons to use AOSP.

its kind of stylish too. google put out this "material you" thing which basically makes it so the whole OS uses the same color pallete.

The only thing I miss about my iphone was that it was nice and small and could be used in one hand.

Sorry to hear about your shadowban, it's annoying.
