  • Can confirm I can actually… ahem “do something” with my phones. I can’t customize trivial things but it’s a productivity workhorse.

    Google could at any time work on enabling push for iOS devices. Of course then you won’t download their apps specifically. Exchange based accounts do not have limitations regarding push services from accounts though.

    You can technically share photos but you’d be generating a public link that automatically expires or a shared album that can be accessed by anyone with the link. So definitely if Google photos works better for you, use that.

    I don’t find Siri restrictive. I find it intentional and even more important…customizable with shortcuts. Saves me hours a week to perform workflows I create between iOS and macOS.

    I can’t really speak to the rest because they either don’t apply to me personally or I think of them as extremely trivial.

    So yes, can’t change a bunch of silly things at all or as easily like text, icons, and layouts, or put potentially dicey apps on it…. But I can manage my life far easier on iOS vs the Wild Wild West of Android experiences. And that’s a win for me, I don’t have time to play with phones anymore🤷‍♂️. Came from Android after maybe 10 years, and not planning to go back anytime soon.

    But the real reason? Apple designs and releases things intentionally so i know what I’m getting and it’s reliable for a long time. Android is not as reliable. Many makers have come and gone and users have to keep learning a new UI, Google is on their second line of products, Samsung is the leader of the pack but they allow bloat and tie you to a very pointless App Store, others are just very bad on release schedules and pushing updates.
