I started using Android in 2010 (switched from Windows Phone) because it was more flexible than iOS. Things were so easy on Android but required Jailbreak on iOS. That plus I hated iTunes. These criticisms may no longer apply so maybe I'll take another look.

I like that in iOS only a few of your photos are visible to apps like Messenger. However, I do not like how simple the calculator is. I cannot check previous calculations, so if I made a typo, well, that sucks. Android has its perks, too. I like to use F-droid and Termux.

iPadOS and a flip phone, no android. WTH is with real-time voice comms when we have texting?

I'm a dev so I have/use both daily, though I tend to use my iPhone more than the Pixel.
