Reasons Why not to switch to Iphone

A friend once said “apple treats its phone owners like users, android treats them like admins” . That’s the most succinct version of it. I like being in control. I want to do all the little settings myself and it be easy doing it and plugging to computer being easy and all of it.

If I’m paying for an expensive device, I’m going to be the admin

Apple is too restrictive

One of the main reasons why I had decided to get an Android after having an iPhone was the fact that they force me to use iTunes just to add music and videos onto my phone when it should be something that I can just simply copy and paste.

Also i can change the text background image. And i have text pop ups that come up on screen with a little contact image so i can respond to texts or text recents from any app without using the notification bar

Universal back button. It’s always there when and where I need it. I had an iphone a long time ago and every app had its own back button in different locations.

No real web browser choice. Apple requires that all browsers for iOS distributed through the App store use webkit as an engine, which means that whatever their names, they are all in fact just themed Safari.

I like my freedom. Android users are the admin of the phone. In contrast, iPhone user feels like they are just a user.

Also, I don’t want to upgrade my ecosystem( pc, tab, and accessories) just to be compatible/access to iPhone.

That’s where I am. When I use an iOS device, I have to use it the way Apple wants me to use it. I hate how the home screen works, and I can’t do anything to change it

Variety. I can get different phones in different styles with different functions with Android. I still have my old OnePlus 6t because it has an excellent camera and a light operating system (a modded version of android, I believe). With apple, you are stuck with a closed environment on a closed phone, only variation you getvis if you buy a new one, and Apple makes damn sure to come out with a new phone every year, which I will admit many android phone companies do now too.

Comfort mostly. Always had an android phone & never felt the need to change as I’m used to the setup, options & layout.

Reasons, in no particular order

  1. Feel more comfortable with Android

  2. Better UI, according to me

  3. Needlessly expensive, including accessories

  4. Better and cheaper alternatives in Android, according to me

  5. Cheaper Play Store

  6. Android is easily accessible

  7. Easy repair facility for Android phones. I am probably missing a few. Again, it’s my preference and opinion.

Competition and flexibility to switch manufacturers with ease. I don’t need to be locked into any device if another manufacturer has a better product and innovations down the line.

I’m by no mean an Android “fan” but still consider it the lesser of two evils.

1/ I don’t like to be forced to use anything on my phone (or computer)

2/ Customization

3/ Jack plug

4/ USB C Plug

5/ Price

Features a couple of years before Apple ‘invents’ them

An always available ‘back’ button

USB C

Battery life and super fast charging

Fully customised launcher/home screen

  1. Side-loading apps

  2. No respect for how Apple locks down their devices on the premise of security (ex. all browsers have to use webkit)

  3. price

  4. SD card

  5. no notch

  6. Pretty easy to transfer my data between any Android, once you go Apple it’s a fight to get out.

  7. Android tends to get features I care about first

  8. I’m familiar with Android

  9. Android can replace the home screen if you don’t like the default (clarify: I mean the launcher)

  10. usb-c (could change soon) (clarify: EU could force apple to adopt usb-c)

  11. Don’t have any Apple devices (not in the ecosystem)

-Good apple products are expensive and I don’t have money like that.

-The phones are too fragile in my experience and tend to break pretty easily.

-The chargers for the phones and Ipad are completely unuseable on any other devices vs my android phone chargers also charge my school chromebook, wireless heaphones and speaker, and my e-reader and tablet not to mwntion my entire family’s devices.

-I don’t like the way safari looks. At all. I’ve never liked it and never will.

I’ve considered buying an Ipad just because I’m an artist and as much as I dislike apple, their digital art game is pretty fire. But as I mentioned in my first point: Apple is expensive. I ain’t got that kind of money.
