Having spoken to a lot of Android users, and being a former rampant Android fanboy myself, I think people are fed up of getting screwed by Android vendors. The software support doesn't last particularly long, the support and repair networks for all the devices are terrible leaving you in the hands of dubious independent repairers and the longevity of the devices is poor. Also the accessory ecosystem is the usual crapfest of not knowing what you're getting, it barely even working properly and then being stuck with it.
- blagie 5y agoMy Android phone -- Samsung entering the end of it's support life -- started popping up ads, annoyingly when I launch Maps. Driving is the /worst/ time to see ads. They're trying to get me to use some crappy Samsung service. Between that, GSuite/free, and all the other Googly debacles, my next phone will be an iPhone.
- liamwestray 5y agoUhg. The GSuite/Free thing pretty much is forcing a great reckoning between myself and google. I am completely de-googling my life as I don't trust them not to break infrastructure I rely on. This is somehow worse than their mismanagement of Chat/Messaging platforms, and is indicative of a direction I just don't think I can support going forward. FWIF iCloud+ custom e-mail is pretty good, shared inbox for all your domains (can do server-side rules on iCloud.com to move to address specific subfolders though), and reasonably simple webmail platform + imap access. For $0.99/m for 50gb of "shared" storage quota with up to 5 domains x 3 custom address x 6 family members isn't bad. It is the most absolute utilitarian solution to custom domain hosting. Zoho and Cloudflare have more feature parity, but iCloud.com is pretty dang close to my needs.
