I prefer android because it is less restrictive and cheaper, simple as!

I don't prefer either.

I usually go with what's affordable, and that hasn't been an iPhone so far.

I'am Team Android and thinking about switching to LineageOS because I don't like giving to mutch power to Google over my live (or other big companies).

the Smartphone I use is a SHIFT6mq it has similar philosophy to the Fairphone products but I think there look and feel better.

Recap: independence, Fairness and repairability

I prefer Android but with all the recent changes they're starting to lose me.

I think the voting should be done with pinned comments (vote creation bot anyone?). Also users on instances with disabled downvotes can't see poll results correctly

Well sucks to not have Jeroba lol

Also the community description said like to agree, and downvote to disagree. I'm just going with what was given.

I can't downvote. I prefer Android because I like Foss apps, since they don't have ads or bombard me with subscriptions to sign up for. I do have an iPad, and experience of finding a paid app was hard, since I kept running into subscriptions. Coming from Android was pretty surprised how predatory Apple apps came off to me with their monetization.

Even just comparing past reddit apps. Like on Android I never had pop ups begging me to sign up for a subscription after I already bought the app. Side loading can't come soon enough, and hopefully with that a F-droid app repository equivalent, and growing Foss community for Apple devices.

I was team Android for the longest time.

But over the years Apple closed down the gap really well and added a lot of missing stuff.

Been using an iPhone the past 4 years now.

I have a oneplus 8 with a custom rom and will be getting a pixel to put grapheneOS on because that's the only way to get a phone that's usable and respects your privacy.

I got the one plus freebie nord from T-Mobile. I ain't mad at it, but it isn't ideal. Oneplus has turned into another bullshit machine where they load bloatware and junk. The phone works well as a phone though, and it fats the job done as a smart device as well. But I dunno that I would have picked it if it weren't free. And I wouldn't buy another one plus after the bloat they put into this one.

I used to have an lgg3, and despite the horrible battery life, I love that damn phone. I still have one, though it's showing its age. I have a g7 that I use as a music player that I'm fond of as well. They killed it with their DAC.

My wife has an iPhone though, and I despitse iOS after having had to fuck around with it a few times.

I personally use Android but wouldn't mind trying a iPhone if I could afford it.

I'm using the Galaxy fold 5 at the moment. I've had them since the second one and they are simply productivity monsters. Having the screen realistate when I need it but the front screen when I don't is perfect for what I want.

iPhone 14. iPhone because it’s simple with no bloatware
