the Android world creeps me out. And those phones always seem to break.
None of my phones are newer than 3 years old and they all work. I prefer Android because it's a real operating system with a file system where you can open files in any app that supports the format, has menus, a more intelligent AI, full customization of launch screen behavior and appearance, widgets (can't live without them), fine-grained control over the permissions per app, and lots more that make it a mini computer rather than a stripped down interface that only works the way Apple says it must.
Suppose Apple demanded that your Mac's desktop was unchangeable, wouldn't support your document icons, had no shortcuts/aliases and only allowed apps to be displayed in rows? What if you couldn't ever turn off how much data an app has access to? IOS users accept these things because they don't know it can be different.
Apple has copied much of Android, and I understand they are about to introduce a file system. All the "improvements" I read about in the latest OS are things Android has had for years.
I think if you ever learned Android you'd have trouble going back to the simple, non-customizable iOS.
