Better hardware, yes.

But you'll be reminded quickly how comparatively shit Apple's software is.

Aka the litany of "Oh, yeah, everyone knows that's broken but just deals with it, because there's no way to fix issues on a closed platform other than {wait for Apple}."

What are all these things that are broken?

The only thing I can think of that's worse on iOS is that you're forced to use safari or another skin on webkit rather than true alternative browsers. Everything else works better thatn android AFAICT, and integrates amazingly with MacOS.

    There being a different keyboard with a period next to space that's only used for address bars.

    Tapback emoji choice being uneditable.

    There's a lot of little annoyances that on Android can be user-fixed, but on iOS it's just... wait and hope.

      Honestly, now you mention it, space bar/period thing is annoying :)

      I’m always searching for things with unnecessary dots in them, and I’d forgotten about the keyboard options on Android.

my iphone doesn't reboot every time I try to take a picture or make a phone call (on every pixel I've had)

android sucks, but it was open

now it just sucks
