im seeing more ex-Apple users being woke after using Android. They've tasted endless hours of ad free Youtube + Youtube Music + Play Music. You can download songs to YM and what can I say, youtube has music you can't find anywhere. It's convenient that while I'm driving I can interact with different apps like maps and switch to music or play it at the same time without touching the phone. Youtube Music lets me play any song I can think of in the car via mobile data. I'm not clear on what exactly Apple services are, but it's not enticing to Android users to sacrifice access to the biggest video music media entertainment content on the web. To me the Google products have become a tether to the Android platform, and Google Search combined with Google Voice is something you just can't do well if you are not Google and don't have near monopoly of those service sectors. Search, Streaming Music, Youtube (theres nothing of this sort from Apple). I just don't see how Apple can catch up now since Google has been winning this game forever.

You know Apple has Apple Music for ad-free streaming, right? And it’s all integrated with Siri and everything. It’s also way more popular than Google Play Music (or whatever it’s called this month), and I trust Apple a lot more than Google. Since we’re trading anecdotes, I know exactly no one switching to Android, and a number of people who have switched back to iOS in the last couple years. Of the few Android users in my circle of family and friends, about half are just sticking with it because of stubbornness, I think, not because they really deeply value anything it provides. Apple completely dominated the high end smartphone market and won’t be dethroned by Google’s latest foray into having multiple weirdly named internal competing services that collect as much of your data as they can before will being renamed, merged, and ultimately killed off in a few years. No thanks.
