2. No, iOS people are not switching. They are staying but not buying newer models due to lack of innovation. Personally I would never switch to the cesspool named Android. Laggy, malware infested garbage
However, the experience of the Samsung Galaxy S8 (which was just to get me familiar with the platform while I looked for a better phone) was incomprehensibly poor. People keep telling me that it's Samsungs software that's crappy but it's really unacceptable for a flagship phone to be this crappy.
Yeah, those sound sketchy to me too. Perhaps you could switch to the non-laggy non-malwareinfested non-garbage android phones.
At least Google isn't making your phone laggy on purpose! (too soon?)
Joking aside, there are a lot of sketchy, crappy Android devices, but there are also some decent ones (e.g. straight from Google). I suspect you've only been exposed to the crappy ones.
Android OS is horrible because it's always different. From release to release. From phone to phone. Everyone has their own little tidbit to add and makes it non uniform.
What? They provide major OS updates for 2 years, and security updates for 3 years.
> Android OS is horrible because it's always different
Are you referring to OEM modifications to Android? It's really hard to follow your rant.
In iOS land, 2 years is just getting started for OS updates - generally you get 5 years or so. That's one of the reasons so many iPhones get handed down and resold compared to Android devices.
