This goes too far.
Actually this is me and my fiance. She even offered me her old iPhone but I've used one before and it was just not for me, so I said no thank you.
Can't even install NewPipe smh
My partner went from an Evo with a physical keyboard to an iPhone because it took the best pictures at the time, and had a better touchscreen keyboard than nearly any android phone. I played with their iPhone and, as a custom ROM Android physical keyboard lover… I switched as well. It’s just perfect for what I need a phone to do. I never have to reset it, I never have to reformat, it does full image backups with software I don’t have to use my brain to use, it’s just the best. My current phone is five years old and runs faster than most of my friends’.
I’m hella biased now but not because I hate Android (I don’t like google, so I’d be using a custom ROM) but because this thing works perfectly for me.
I’m a Windows and now a Linux user, though I have a 2011 MacBook Pro that’s still kicking I use occasionally, but for phones, I don’t think I could ever go back.
I've been using GrapheneOS for a few years now and I've never had to reset/reformat anything. It just works, aside from the unsupported features of course.
Now my phone do be kinda slow, but the current Pixel phones look very promising in terms of longevity
I’ve heard great things about Graphene! I want to say I was using Lineage? It was ages ago, though! It made my HTC Dream usable, when the default OS was insanely laggy.
I’m full-on iOS from now on, though. After two phones that have been hella fast after five years and just the comfy nature of the OS (not to mention the 10/10 cameras), I love it.
As a teen I got really frustrated with ios because the animations were so long. Navigating the phone was: tap - wait for animation to finish - tap - wait - tap - wait
The most infuriating was rolling through the opened apps, because it would keep rolling and you couldn't swipe up to close an app while it did that.
Back then I got so mad I almost threw my ipod touch at the wall xD
But that was ios 6/7
Abomination, I say!
