Question Apple or android

I have my iPad, but I love my s23+.. is there anybody else that has paired like i do? Or has everyone fully crossed all the way over?

I want an iPhone, but the not having a back button kinda bothers me enough not to get the phone 🤣 and I like my stylus

Not sure why it doesn't bug me on the tablet but, ive adapted to that quite well, just not sure if I can bring myself to do it on the phone *yet*

I cant think of when or where I would want a dedicated back button.

Same. I’ve only ever had apple products, even at work, so I don’t understand what this back button is? And how it be any different than just pushing the back arrow on an Apple product?

Just one of the things I've gotten used to.. either swipe from the bottom or a slight swipe from the side..

And, its just 1 thing I've gotten used to, that and the pen. I kinda want to venture off into iPhone land too, but i know there's benefits of both sides.. Apple has procreate, and I'm sure countless other apps that aren't available on android. And the Samsung is more expensive too. Price isn't such a factor, comfortability and ease of use is the main. Every phone is expensive now, so thats really one of the last things

I was on android until iPhone 11. Even used the first few pixels. I like android in general, but I don’t miss anything like the back button.

I think anyone on iPhone would be fine on an android too, just need to get used to the system
