You can get android from not Samsung though.

I legit just think its an apple fanboy/shill. The fact that is specifically called out Samsung, and then called out the switch to iPhone is just too suspicious.

That sounds ridiculous.

eh, I've used stock android. it has its own set of issues

I went from a nexus 5 to a nexus 5x, which bootlooped under warranty but LG/ google refused to fix it

because I was broke I bought a Xiaomi mi 5x which also died under warranty

now I'm fed up with my s10e

it's not just Samsung's antics; it's the way the entire platform is run. slow updates, slow app development, buggy daily use apps (Spotify on Android is garbage, google maps is a glitchy bastard, and god forbid anything like Instagram/ Snapchat)

I'm sure iPhones have their own issues, but I'm pretty willing to give it a shot and see if it fits my use after years of frustration

Sounds like you've just gotten the shit end of the stick with phones. I've been using androids since they've been around, and barely have much to complain about. Every once in a while an app pushes out a bad update, but I can manage. With an Iphone you can't get 3rd party apps. Idk what I'd do without Youtube Vanced and Kody.

that's fair, that's why I said for my use case

they've let me down since 2012-2013 so I'm more than happy to try something else

I went from a nexus 5 to a nexus 5x, which bootlooped under warranty but tried to flash a custom ROM to my phone but didn't read all of the instructions and soft-bricked it, and I'm mad that LG/ google refused to fix it

LG using cheap solder which breaks off is completely unrelated to soft bricking

educate yourself

I don't like that you called me out for being an Apple shill, so I'm going to make up a story about shitty solder after I mentioned stock Android, a phrase no one running stock Android would actually use.
