Long time iOS user and spare-time developer.
Switched from iPhone 13 to a Google Pixel running GrapheneOS for my phone and Samsung Fold 3 for mobile Internet.
I love the freedom to develop and sideload apps.
Syncthing for Android is amazing! (all my pictures/music/files are synchronized between devices without any cloud service, no longer Apple Music deciding to delete some of my music and replace it with less ).
Gadgetbridge is amazing too. No more accidental cloud sync ...
SwiftUI is a mess and for the small apps I write for myself Flutter/Dart makes much more sense, it was easier for me to understand, learn, and write quick apps.
Don't think I will ever go back to Apple's ecosystem.
The fold 3 is the future formfactor of phones for me (I don't need a tablet after I got one, I can read/annotate papers, watch lectures using vlc on the go ...). The only negative point is the battery life, yet I get over the day.
- mackrevinack 4y agoeveryone once in a while i think about getting an iPhone or iPad for one reason or another, maybe for the camera or some music making apps that you can't get anywhere else, but i quickly scrap that thought once i remember that i can't use syncthing there's no way i could go back to manually transferring files, or being limited by ISP network speeds or "cloud" storage space, or most importantly, having to pay monthly fee for the rest of my life!
