I can't do iOS still. Too many restrictions, compromise and missing functionality. Like, give me a custom launcher option (custom everything options), emulation of classic consoles and handhelds, and easy plug and play access via a PC. If I can't even get one of those, I'm on Android regardless of how shiny I think Apple hardware is. But if you don't want nay of that, it probably works grate. Just not for me.

I hear you, I used to feel the same. I was a heavy phone user once and that's why I got the Pixel. A lot of things mattered to me then that just don't now. I could almost get by with a flip phone, but there are still a few things I like about smart phones: - I like to use my phone to check bathy charts while I'm out free diving. In a water proof case, a phone is a huge asset for finding interesting spots to dive. I don't really want to buy a dedicated device for this. I can just hook it to my float and it's there for exploration/emergencies/location beacon for family/etc. - When I forget to charge my watch, it's nice to have GPS handy for tracking a run or ride - It's really nice to be able to do a decent code review from a phone if I'm out and about. I wouldn't do this with critical code or large changes, but it's nice to give someone some extra eyes without committing to sitting at the desk or bringing my computer places - I have ADHD and having a full-fledged reminder/task box is a god send. I'd be lost without todoist I could do this all with any modern smart phone, but I went with the best 'bang for the buck' model I could find. I don't think I'll miss anything from Android.
