So many of my iPhone fan friends have said "Oh, you finally made the switch, you're going to love it" after I recently bought my first iPhone.

It's a phone. It did not magically transform my user experience. It's 95% similar to what I had on a Pixel. Better low-effort privacy. Better direct hardware access for music and video. Significantly more lag, app freezups, and fragility and some baffling user experience decisions.

I would switch back again, or not, doesn't matter.

I have an iPhone for work and a pixel that I use privately.

There's like one or two high quality apps on the iPhone that are amazing but that kinda sums up the positive aspects of the iPhone. I absolutely hate the user experience. Android is simply better at this.

But I do agree with you. They're just bloody phones. Do people really still give a shit? I'm actually pretty sick of these phones. The pixel 7 Pro is the first phone that works the way I want it to and I'd like to simply keep on using this phone for the next 30 years if possible because I don't want to spend any more money on these shitty rectangles.
