  • As soon as most Android boot loaders were locked, I jumped ship. If I’m in a walled garden, I’d rather the garden be as nice as possible. Also, I don’t really want a customizable computer in my pocket, I want a communications appliance. I have a computer at home to tinker with.

    Don’t care about file management, files app works just fine for sneakernet trading with coworkers.

    Don’t care about deep customization, I think this makes most phones look worse, not better. It also makes troubleshooting harder when my parents or kid have changed everything.

    With regards to price, I find Apple phones are cheaper in the long run; I can buy a refurb phone for my mom and it’ll get updates for 5+ years. My experience with Android was 1 year of updates. That alone was enough to push me away.

    Ultimately I just don’t care about phones anymore. They all are boring and I want the easiest family fleet of devices to manage. For me, Apple is easier. I can fuck with phones less and do literally anything else more.
