(a few) reasons i won't switch to ios even tho my current android probably died 💀 ◈ notification center CLEARS: it's way better in every possible way, period ◈ apps can display permanent notification in the notif center (i.e tailscale, tesla) so you can see their status + press notification action buttons ◈ full screen calendar reminders (apple doesn't do this except for alarms) ◈ with apps like tasker, autoapps, macdroid etc. you can do REAL automations ◈ enabling adb via network allows any agent to fully take over and control your phone ◈ i was laughing at the idea of going back to a fingerprint but it's way faster than face id ... i said what i said ◈ splitting and floating apps are SUPER useful, don't let tim cope convince you otherwise by forcing you to use a single app at a time in 2026 ◈ google photos > apple photos, all day every day ◈ little icons from apps in status bar tell you which apps you have notifs from without swiping down the notification center ◈ but what about clipboard sync? you can use KDE Connect which gives you better and more predictable clipboard/file sync than the iCloud one ◈ you can use syncthings? instantly sync any file across mac, android, or any other device on your tailscale network. i use it to sync my screenshots and camera folders to my mac so i don't need to airdrop things. they just appear there immediately. ◈ airdrop works btw (latest pixel and samsung only, which are the only androids you should buy anyway) ◈ you can install any apk file from anywhere without giving tim apple a bj ◈ install streamio, emulators, download roms, just do whatever tf you want ◈ a REAL file manager, not one that's pretending to be a file manager ◈ better battery life (yes, really) ◈ REAL difference between browsers (browser engines) not just the app skeleton ◈ chrome on android is gazillion times better than chrome and safari on iOS ◈ gboard CLEARS the iOS keyboard: clipboard history, snippets, always show number/emoji rows, better correction, better swiping, better better better everything ◈ gemini > siri i mean lmao it's not even a question ◈ WAY more sensors in home assistant ◈ way faster animations (especially if u reduce them to 0.5x) and feels way snappier than liquid ass ◈ no one is forcing app library on you, you 100% own your homescreen ◈ if you want you can install a custom launcher (i vibe coded one for myself) and completely replace your homescreen with something custom HOW THE FUCK DO I GO BACK TO HAVING AN ORANGE PHONE LIKE THE REST OF YOU WITH THE SAME FUCKING BULKY CASE AND SAME HOME SCREEN AND APP LAYOUT AND LIST OF COPE APPS LIKE FLIGHTY AND ALL THE OTHER BULLSHIT ANDROID 4 LYFE
