Up until when the iPhone 12 came out, I used Android. Then I got an iPhone 12 Pro and I haven't hated it. I do miss many of the customization features available on Android, but iOS is extremely polished, and simple.
Where it falls short is the apps that I sometimes used on Android, are not available on iOS. Then you get into the options for Reddit (not any more), other social apps, and now Lemmy. Apps for the same service can vary in features, which can be a big deal.
I often find myself using my old s10 for apps like Jerboa (Mlem is okay, but I prefer Jerbo), apps for car diagnostics, previously Boost for Reddit, etc.
My next phone will likely be Android. However, probably not for another year or two, maybe longer. I'm waiting for a big step in hardware, and potentially an option with a hidden selfie camera. I'd love to have a full screen phone from the likes of Google or Samsung. One can wish.
