I dislike Apple alot, stupidly Expensive, more than they devices worth, very restrictive on what you can do with them (treat their customers as kids) and their monopoly.
There is also a wide variety of Android phones with different price ranges, and features (like my beloved headphone jacks), wider customisation and a somewhat better repaiability sometimes.
I first made the switch to android after my iphone 5 died and found out the newer models wouldn’t have an aux output. I have significantly more chances to use a 3.5mm plug than bluetooth in my life, so it was an easy choice.
7 years later, and I still have the same phone. No bloat, and updated the way I want it. I charge it once per day at high-performance mode, and the battery is holding strong.
I keep an iphone dongle in my car for friends, because I am a gentleman, but they always remark on how easy it would be to just have the damn aux port.
I think my first “real” phone ever was a Used Iphone 5 and My hate for apple started when I wanted to use some niche apps I wanted to use where android only, and I would need to ask my mother to lend me her phone for a second, eventually I got my hands on android phone and not only I could use said apps (they would eventually reach ios tough) but do a whole lot ton more things with my phone, here androids are more popular than Iphones tough, as they are mor of a luxury product.
I’ve never felt the need to install something else, since pie is so customizable as it is, and I like the way it works. no doubt there’s some good OS out there, but I haven’t felt the need to go that route.
I actually don’t have an Android phone. Well, not yet. I want to get one. I’m just waiting for the right one.
I want an Android phone which has a headphone jack, an easily-replaceable battery, good enough specs to easily manage 3-4 major OS upgrades, and support from an alternative Android-based OS like /e/. Though, I have to admit that I’m starting to worry that I’m asking for too much.
I’ll probably get a Fairphone 5 if it’s released in the US and has a headphone jack.
I’d go with /e/ because it’s free of bloatware and Google’s spyware.
Yeah like people often pointing out that iPhone cameras are better. I have a friend who owns a Samsung A71 (a budget phone) and the pictures look just as good as an iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 for half the price.

Which brand is your Android phone and are you running an alternative Android-based OS like /e/ or LineageOS?
galaxy s8+, just regular pie

do you prefer a different OS?
