1 - Most good companies have way fewer issues than Apple does.
2 - Most companies release fixes within minutes or hours instead of days or weeks.

The only phones I've ever owned are a 3GS, 4S, 6+, and 8+. I'm still using the 8+, but it's about time to replace it and I'm strongly considering getting my first non-iPhone.

I'm just tired of an endless barrage of bugs. There's so many of them that MR doesn't cover them all. About half of notifications simply never show up on my iPhone. No rhyme or reason. No explanation or way to debug it. Is it something in settings? Could be. Seems there's dozens of settings that could control it - it's possible I've missed a critical one or few.

Didn't Schiller have a quote like "Oh, I get it, it's a game!" when poking at Android settings about a decade ago? I can't imagine settings being any worse elsewhere than they are in the past several versions of iOS.

I'm tired of my phone failing at incredibly basic tasks. I want something that just works, and it's clear to me that Apple is no longer interested in building products that just work.

What? So is Samsung a good company?

Have you actually used any of these other good companies? Because I had to turn a phone in, because the battery could have expanded and exploded.

Much less numerous issues I've had on HP, Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba laptops...

Microsoft pushes out updates in minutes or hours? Google and their numerous users are pushing out updates in hours?

and when cars get recalled, they aren't good companies?

Do you know tech at all?

If you believe the grass is greener then you should go for it. Tech has an endless barrage of software and firmware bugs, some you see, some you don't.

With the exception of ios 8 bricking devices never had my phone fail at basic tasks. Yeah, along the way of owning iphones there have been bugs, zero days, resprings, reboots etc. But my iphones have never failed at basic tasks. YMMV.

You are coming to a sad realization; cancel or allow?

Ironic, but true. Ever since macOS introduce the "Privacy" tab in "Security & Privacy" preference pane and requiring meeting apps to be granted permission to camera, screen, etc and then restarted (which implicitly forces un-join and re-join the meeting)

I know the Bios isn’t the OS. Think you’re the one splitting hairs. I said, I had to do multiple Bios updates to have Windows 11 function properly. The secure boot wasn’t an enabled by default on my AM4 board. Windows 11 is still garbage compared to 10.

No what you said that I quoted was this

Windows 11 is hot garbage. I had to do multiple BIOS updates since they screwed over AMD users to get in bed with Intel. Or should I say, Windows 10.5. Microsoft is a joke too.

You’ve stated Windows 11 is garbage full sentence stop. Multiple BIIS updates to get AMD working has nothing to do that Microsoft screwed over AMD users, it’s more likely the motherboard manufacturer having hardware issues - hence the need for multiple BUOS updates.

Secure boot has been a requirement for windows since Windows 10 1901 if not earlier.

I’m not splitting hair, I think you’re mixing a motherboard issue with bios issues/settings and blaming Microsoft/Windows with AMD compatibility or proper functionality. Very similar to late 90’s where Baird manufacturers with issues with other components would redirect you to RAM manu./video card manu. Etc.
