Title: Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships
Body:
Hey everyone, I’m looking at phones around the $1000 price point and would love some input. I’ve been an iOS user for years but I’m seriously considering making the jump to Android this time.
Here’s what I’m looking at:
iPhone 17 Pro - The safe choice since I’m already in the ecosystem
Samsung Galaxy S25 - Hearing good things about this generation
Pixel 10 Pro - Probably crossing this one off the list due to the stability issues I’ve been reading about (the 911 call failures, overheating problems, etc.)
Nothing Phone - The design looks really cool, but I’m not sure if they have anything in this price range
For those who’ve made the switch from iOS to Android (or vice versa), what would you recommend? Any major gotchas I should know about? And is the Nothing Phone even worth considering as a daily driver at this price point?
Thanks in advance!
I was a lifelong android user, mostly pixels, and switched to a an iPhone 14 pro 4 years ago. This is the first phone I’ve had that’s lasted 3+ years, that’s never crashed, and still runsas quickly and smoothly as when I bought it. Apple would have to seriously fuck something up for me to ever go back to an android.
I’m the opposite. I switched to Apple in 2018 and their most recent changes have made me start looking at Android again.
My biggest gripe is the crappy liquid UI and terribly low QA they have now. I’ve never had a more buggy experience in my life.
If I ever figure out how to move all my 2FA stuff over to another phone I will most likely switch.
It’s atrocious. I’ve been an Apple user since 2007, and I am almost ready to move everything I can to Linux, and set up home assistant. Apple Home is straight garbage anyway; it’s barely functional, and they have abandoned the software.
Got an iPhone from my work… I really want to like it, but damn, I miss the back button.
Yeah it took me a while to get used to swiping to go back but I think I prefer it now.
Only on apps that support it. That’s the maddening part. It’s not unified.
The nice thing on Android is that all apps support it somehow.
Because the system just send Back.
The players (gestures) might change, but the game (command) stays the same. Lol
I was a lifelong Android fan boy but I switched because Googles CEO was giving Trump fellacio at the inauguration, not like Tim Cook is any better.
I like iOS better because the battery life is insane and it’s a more stable platform.
I’m hoping the last iphone I bought will last until we get entirely new communication devices because the way this bs is going is bleak as fuck.
