Technology@beehaw.org•Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships

I agree that you may be having this personal experience. On the other hand, I am not and have been using iOS for many years. The difference could be that I intentionally stay very informed about iOS.
I, personally, will not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
However, if you believe that you will have better experiences using Android, then please make the switch.
Back in 2007 (After many years of making a career out of using Microsoft/Windows products) I started using Linux and MacOS/iOS exclusively and have never looked back.
I have very little experience and/or knowledge of Android. So, I can’t comment on that.

7·4 months agoWould you, please, explain why you are considering switching from iOS to Android?
I hope most people here realize that most of our societal problems are a direct result of oligarchs. The 1% that rule over everyone else with their unimaginable wealth.
They are very happy keeping the other 99% fighting amongst themselves while they extract even more wealth.
The fight for American democracy is a fight against oligarchs.
And I’m sure some of us could make the case on a global level as well.

I agree. I grew up using hard copy encyclopedias at libraries. It is incredible now to have all of this at our fingertips at home.
