I did the same, roughly two years ago. I'd been Android since the Nexus One. The lack of commitment to long-term support is what did it for me. Between Apple's support for OS updates for much older hardware than Google, and the fact that we can get a phone battery replaced at an Apple store rather than a sketchy phone repair place is what did it for me.
For me, the downsides are:
- Notifications really suck. Everything has the same sound, unless the developer really cares. Its far harder to have custom alert sounds vs Android.
- Garmin watch notifications can't be filtered. I realize this is partly Garmin's fault, since apparently competitors have worked their way around it.
- I hate that "firefox" on iOS is a wrapper for Safari, and I can't use add-ons like uBlock
- filoleg 5y agoA minor note on your last point: since the last major iOS release, Safari now supports extensions. I use one for adblocking, for redirecting every AMP link to a non-AMP version of the page, as well as the one that automatically redirects every reddit link from a webpage to Apollo (a third party reddit app).
