With LineageOS + microg I have a cheap phone that performs really well and the battery lasts for multiple days. Had a jailbroken iphone before switching to Android but have never even thougt about going back.

Another LineageOS + microg user here.
I used stock android and iOS before making the switch. Best change yet.
Revanced and Fdroid. Plus, I can use real third party browsers. And sideloading. And getting access to the file system. And having tons of vendors to choose from.
I tried ios/ipados devices in the past. I always come to a point the limitations of the system annoyed me so much. Sometimes it's the not accesible nfc reader. Somertimes the garbade filesystem and sometimes i wasn't able to open a file from the app i want because of different reasons. I haven't used it for years, but i think the OS is terrible for someone that want to use file, hardware or any process like i the person is used to it or want to use.
Freedom. I feel so restricted on iOS. I want to do this, and this, and that there too!
Sideloading apps Adblockers Being able to replace my battery
I use a combination of Termux + Andronix to run a full version of Ubuntu. Add Codeboard keyboard and suddenly I have a full dev environment on my unrooted, stock Android (Pixel). I don't think I can do that with iOS.
Holy Sh...! That is awesome. I never heard of it and just tried it out. Thank you so much for your post, you made my day :-)
other linux phones are not really viable. I dont like supporting apple and even if I didnt care about that, their iOS is far too restrictive.
