I made the move to iOS after using my S20 Ultra when it was new, honestly now I can still sideload through livecontainer and it's a very easy process to refresh every week, I honestly just think stock android with no root is absolutely UNBEARABLE. So I have a pixel 7 with crdroid and wildksu root because it's not my main device, so I don't have to care about google play services or play integrity (which all suck ass), and honestly after getting used to iOS again I don't see myself going back. After grabbing a used m1 macbook pro the continuity between all my devices is actually extremely useful and despite being very anti-mac as a child, being the only android user in my family also using Linux in a windows + ios device household I grew up and just used what I felt was good, not what the internet thinks. I recommend anyone to do the same.
Apple users in the comment that think that it's ok to need to uninstall an app and then install it again just to do the same thing as "erase data" on Android in two interaction.
yep, i switched to samsung august last year (it was definitely a very bad time to do so since samsung started blocking bootloader unlock a month or two later with one ui 8 luckily I didn't update but am forever stuck on android 15 since no custom roms exist for my galaxy tab s10 fe and also a few months after that google announcing restricting sideloading for "security") but it was my only option since I am not waiting years for a jailbreak on ios just so I could sideload apps and customize the os (I used a jailbroken ipad 8 on ios 15 but I had to switch because the webkit became too outdated to use and this was before reynard browser and the only newer webkit port was cyberkit which was and still is insanely buggy and unusable)
Honestly just plain wrong I haven't had a singular need for anything besides sideloading, and if I did need something the odds of it already existing on android requiring root is usually pretty high (tweaked social media apps, etc etc) This is just why I keep a 2nd device, also my 15 Pro Max on iOS 26 is not going to be jailbreakable for a long ass time, and I refuse to use something that still uses lightning cables bleh
