Good… android is awful anyway and very vulnerable to hacks and has lots of security issues. Android hardly has any updates, maybe twice a year. But people like it for some reason. Me, can’t stand it!!!
When I used android 11 years ago, I loved it for the customization and rooting. I hated the fact that I was always having issues with the phone working the way a phone should, so once I had the chance I jumped up iPhones and haven’t looked back. iPhones just work and I have had little to no issues over the years. I’ve had more issues with the shipping than hardware or software.
My last Android daily driver was the HTC One M8 back in 2014. Aside from the subpar camera, it was an absolute beast of a phone. HTC Sense was the only Android skin I liked. I ended up switching to iOS when the iPhone 6 came out that year, passed the M8 to my wife and never looked back. Ironically, my wife eventually ended up switching to iOS as well.
Although I still keep a Pixel 3 around to satisfy my occasional Android curiosity, I will never go back to using an Android phone full time. Every time I boot up the Pixel and play around with it, I'm immediately reminded that more (options, that is) doesn't necessarily mean better. While rooting and ROMing was fun, I couldn't care less about either nowadays. I need a phone that works and I'm perfectly fine with the walled garden aspect of iOS. I'm loving my 13 Pro.

It takes so much restraint to send these kinds of posts to the people in my family that refuse to switch. I see it on a daily basis: "I was an android fan and then I switched, never looking back" type posts. It's just so frustrating when they won't even give you a reason; it's just "no thanks".
Maybe up to about a decade ago...but you're certainly entitled to your opinion.
Can't take this seriously since no one knows how you really use your phone but for most people, the flip 3 is a fine phone.
People on the go who don't stare at their screen all day, just casually check messages, send emails and take calls the Flip 3 is great for the basics it's also light and easy on the pocket.
My exact thought when reading that. Whether you are an Android or an iOS fan, you have to admit that they are a lot closer to each other now than they were 10 years ago.
Totally incorrect. My past 3 samsungs got updates regularly (almost monthly). I've never been "hacked" and I've side loaded all kinds of stuff. Knox is the most security I've seen in a phone. I can lock personal stuff separate from all the rest. And you're not getting in a samsung without the users info.
Pretty much everything you said is wrong. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have an Android device either, but that's just not true.
That may be a thing of a past but Androids do get updates quite frequently if you ask me. so you are incorrect.
