Nah, that’s not an option. I’ve been on iOS since 2009. It’s not really beneficial to move to Android.

Plus I’ve got an Android as my second phone and I’m not a fan of moving to the platform as my main device.

Samsung is silly with their extra store that I can’t remove, I don’t find that the same apps are as polished as their iOS counterparts, I don’t like the way Android does app-switching, I don’t like that there are some apps like Facebook that can be disabled, but not actually removed from the phone, and on my previous phone (moved from an S8 to an S10e) I repeatedly received Samsung ads about newer devices being available. I dislike that the apps themselves are constantly running in the background and that I feel like I have to be conscious of my RAM usage or mindfully close out apps. On iOS, I can have 2 apps or 200 running with no difference in how the phone runs.

There’s also a lot of work necessary to remove things that I don’t like on Android, like removing their extra “gaming overlay” that’s entirely unnecessary, and then there’s general things that I don’t like such as not having a “tap to top” like iOS has.

I do like that Android let’s you sideload apps and choose/customize your launcher, but given that I’ve never really taken advantage of things like extra Home Screens on iOS and the only apps I sideload are emulators, those aren’t game changers for me. I’ve also got an Apple Watch and iPad and things all work best when they’re all within the same ecosystem.

As for privacy, between the two, I would rather let Apple harvest and hold my data over Google. I don’t even like to use Google as my main search engine, and when I do, I’ve got on my VPN and I’m signed out of any account. Apple is selling the info as well, but their money-maker is more about hardware and less about data collection.

I get why some folks may prefer Android to Apple and even make the switch, but I’m not one of them.
