@cliophate Nice insight. Agree with the unpolished aspect of Android and it was one of the reasons I jumped back to iOS after a year with Android. Size happened to be one of the reasons too. From 6A to one of their last mini offerings. I love using Overcast. It has it cons but the Android alternative l, for me, was a chore to use coupled with the size. And every move that Apples been making lately is pushing me to reconsider. If I’m staying with iOS, size will be the reason.

@xsecur If you're on the Mini, isn't it also just a question of time since Apple doesn't make small iPhones anymore?

@cliophate you are 100% correct. Indie apps makes Apple platform so sticky

The apps aren’t as polished as iOS but Android has its unique advantages and in due course (with time), that lack of polish fades away.

That is the case for me who is lives in both ecosystems.

Given the opportunity, android is a lot of fun. We tend to get stuck in our ways and find discomfort if we have to do things differently. Never did I think I would use an android eink and now I cant let go of Palma

Just a 💭

@merecivilian I might just have to pick up a good Android phone and try it for a while.

What are some of these advantages you're talking of?

@cliophate opps, somehow, I missed this notification...

Likely, I have a pretty comprehensive blog post that can answer your question:
