The percentage of Android users that switched to iOS decreased in 2023, but the five-year trend is steady.

A report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) found that 13% of iPhone buyers switched from Android to iOS in 2023.
The number is a decrease from the prior year's figure, which saw 15% of iPhone buyers come from an Android phone.
However, over a five-year period, iPhone buyers are coming from Android phones at a steady 11-15% clip.

I agree with the sentiment but Google is an Ad business. Selling phones by itself does not financially support them.

GrapheneOS on Pixel is the most stable and secure way to have a modern mobile phone that is free of trackers (from google and apple alike).

I can't picture a better way to "stick it to the man" than 7 years of them unable to track and serve you ads
