Never cared for Apple products, it's always been an endless slew of wonky shit for me that barely worked and wasn't compatible with anything.

Both OS have their advantages.

android was fully customizable, but I did notice it being less responsive and glitchy over time. And the battery wasnt as efficient.

iOS doesnt have as many features and it isnt open source. But I feel the proprietary ios helps keep the phone fluid and battery healthy.

Don't you need to load up iTunes to even do file management on iOS?

Meanwhile, with Android, I can just plug it into a computer and it's treated as another removable drive.

This. And I really only use my phone for calls, texts, and browsing/music/Youtube if away from home.

Pretty happy with my Note20 Ultra. iPhone-anything would be a downgrade and I'm not about that life.

I would expect you to have a lot of files you'd want to keep on your phone

I'd rather use Android phones but so many apps work so much better on iOS that I'm forced to use an iPhone. The social cachet, smoother video, and long term support are also nice bonuses.

And unless you hit the used market or buy rando Chinese brands that the US is itching to ban, iPhones are actually cheaper or the same price as Android.

Most of the time if i want to update an app or download a new one, it doesnt fucking work. The only way to get it to work is to clear the data, clear the cache, revert to the original version that came on the device, restart the phone, sign back into the play store, update the play store, and then maybe theres a 40% chance it will work for 2 or 3 days before breaking again. Ive had this issue on one htc phone and 3 samsung phones. Im over it. I just want my apps to auto update, and to occasionally download a new app. Yet this is impossible in android land
lol ive never had this issue what are you even downloading

IOS anything is trash...

If I wanted a device that was so fucking locked down I couldn't do anything I wanted to with it, 2x the price of a comparative non-IOS device, and made for people that have no idea how to use said devices, perhaps then I would consider it.

Just seems like a waste to go with android in 2020 nowadays unless you -really- need sideloading which most people dont.
Sticking music and videos on there without needing to deal with iTunes. Probably even images.
That's also sideloading.
