| So many things: * Device support * OS security * Compatibility with existing Apple devices (Mac, etc) * Quality of apps * Ease of use I'll break these down, but before I do... I used to be an Android user from basically day one (Android Dev Phone), I switched away after the Pixel and never looked back. * Device support What Android phone do I buy? Will it be filled with crap I can't remove when I buy it? If I buy a phone, and I have an issue with it where can I go and get a replacement quickly? How long will my phone receive updates? I feel like Android devices are a choice of Samsung Galaxy S-series phones or Google Pixel phones. Samsung ones have the crapware, Google ones don't get updates for very long. Samsung not much longer it seems. * OS Security I don't trust that an Android phone isn't phoning home all the time. Also, updates don't last very long on the OS so after a few years my phone is vulnerable. * Compatibility with other Apple devices I like the seamless nature of the Apple ecosystem. My photos/apps/messages/files are on all my devices. Android would break that. * Quality of apps I feel like the quality of apps on the iPhone is higher and that cross platform apps on the iPhone tend to be worse. * Ease of use I think Android finally got rid of the extra buttons for back and menu on every device but whenever (rarely) I use an Android device for something I don't find it easy to use. This has gotten worse, IMO. Earlier Android devices made more sense to me. |
