The big things keeping me from leaving my life-long Android dedication is that Apple doesn’t allow sideloading apps, browsers other than Safari and Safari reskins, any type of home screen customization, and messaging with RCS.
3 out of 4 of those issues are very likely to be resolved this year… so there’s little reason to stick with Google, imo, given how shit their services have become over the last 5 years.
I admire Apple for their hardware, ecosystem consistency, and software consistency. But their walled garden approach is just too closed off for my use.
If they were to open things up a bit, allow for more flexibility, I really think they could capture a huge chunk of users that are fed up with Samsung and Google.

You bring a good point. I’m curious about what a “more open” iOS could give in terms of experience. Could be a real blow to Samsung
