    Lifelong iOS hater who moved to iOS 2 years ago here. They’re different strokes for different folks.

    If you’re like I used to be, get an Android! Flash a custom ROM on it! All the freedom is amazing.

    Now I have an iPhone. It may even lack some features Android has. It gets them slower. But the experience is ridiculously polished and consistent. This is a device I can’t have fail on me.

    I still use Linux on my gaming PC and one of my work laptops. I love it. I love fiddling with things. I just want my phone to be an appliance like my fridge now. I buy it and forget it for the next few years.

      My second work phone is an iPhone, so I’m a lifelong iOS hater but I’ve had a few generations of them. Let me tell you these things crash all the time, it is only slightly better at covering for itself.

        I’d say a good negative use case really fits in the “reliability” category. So often at work, coders expect everything to always succeed, and have no thought towards what happens if one cog ever falls out of place; but good systems can react well or even help you get to what you generally need.

      Sometimes I miss tinkering on my android phone, but I just get my fix handled with the homelab and keep my iPhone nice and stable. I wish it wouldn’t take lawmakers to get things like usb c and rcs, but hey still getting it done.
