I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Android is simply more functional. iphone is great if you want to live in a bubble that encases iOS, but for anyone who uses computers in a professional capacity, Android just makes more sense.think so? Sounds like a fun change.
I was on the Samsung kick for a while. Absolutely loved that I could buy a ZeroLemon and have a week long battery hahahaI think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

And definitely go with a Pixel 5.
Pixel has always been the industry leader in imaging. Apple came close with their latest offerings, but Pixel still reigns supreme. Mostly because of their processing software. Can't speak for video, but the stuff I shoot of my son looks good.I was on the Samsung kick for a while. Absolutely loved that I could buy a ZeroLemon and have a week long battery hahaha
Switched to iPhone because the video/pic quality going from wife's Apple to my Android was abysmal. Has it improved?
Yeah it's not so much about what the devices can do, it's about how they trade with other devices.Pixel has always been the industry leader in imaging.

Apple to Apple is spotless. Is Apple to Android still atrocious?
Apple purposefully doesn't play nice with others. It's annoying.Yeah it's not so much about what the devices can do, it's about how they trade with other devices.

It's incredibly annoying, and the only reason I am on Apple (thanks, wife).Apple purposefully doesn't play nice with others. It's annoying.
I don't think so. I've been using Mac since 1986, and haven't had any issues with an Android phone. What is it that you're looking to do?Yeah it's not so much about what the devices can do, it's about how they trade with other devices.

We used to be on Android. We got away from it for a variety of reasons. Now that we've been in the Apple ecosystem a few years I don't see us ever going back. The nearly seamless integration between iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods, ATVs, and now AirTags is something I'm not the least bit interested in losing. Really looking forward to playing with HomeKit And some Mac desktops, eventually.I might actually ponder a swap away from Apple on my next upgrade.
Signal Private Messenger (And, unlike Facetime, it's cross-platform.)Kind of bored, although facetime is ideal.
Disagree.... for anyone who uses computers in a professional capacity, Android just makes more sense.
I’ve been Apple since the iPhone 3G. I know the OS, know where all the settings are and how to configure everything, all the tricks, shortcuts,etc. I bought a Samsung Android tablet for a different use case (GPS in my UTV), and felt completely lost trying to configure it. It felt so un-intuitive to me and was really frustrating, and the Google Play store felt like a s**tshow compared to the Apple App Store. It didn’t work out for the intended use, and now sits gathering dust in a cabinet.We used to be on Android. We got away from it for a variety of reasons.

Yes: I've been thoroughly Borged

I get the Android thing for people who enjoy rooting their phones and tinkering with them, sideloading apps, etc. - that’s a lot more difficult on iOS. I’m just not that much of a “power user”, have never once jailbroken any of my iPhones. They do what I need them to do and are reliable about it, that’s good enough for me.No surprise there
Each has their relative advantages. There are some things I used to have on Android that aren't available on iOS--a couple of those because, iOS being more locked-down, they simply cannot be done. But there are some things about Android I definitely don't miss, and those far, far outweigh the things I do.
By professionals, I'm referring to for whom Macs were originally designed: Creatives. I use a phone to make phone calls, and send emails. I use a Mac in a professional sense. Ipads, and iphones, and airpods, and itags, and homepods all may play nice together, but they are of absolutely no consequence to my profession. I don't need toys. And I'm certainly not going to replace a fine Swiss timepiece with a buzzing mini-computer that annoys me all day long.We used to be on Android. We got away from it for a variety of reasons.

Disagree.
In fact it was due to discovering that, of all the network security professionals I knew, noticing more of them used iPhones than Android phones was one of the things that got me looking in that direction.
In fact... now that I think of it: At the time I retired: The entire IT Dept. was on iPhones and, IIRC, more of the software and hardware engineers had iPhones than Android phones.
Moto G7 power, it is inexpensive and the battery lasts for two days.
It's unclear to me why an Android phone would be any more advantageous than an iPhone to those for whom Macs were designed. Can you explain why you believe this to be so?By professionals, I'm referring to for whom Macs were originally designed: Creatives.
As do I, except not email so much. I also use my phone and/or tablet for:I use a phone to make phone calls, and send emails.
Fair enough. But the availability of those devices doesn't detract from the manufacturer's product line, either. So I'm not getting your point.Ipads, and iphones, and airpods, and itags, and homepods all may play nice together, but they are of absolutely no consequence to my profession.
How are iPhones, iPads, or AirPods any more "toys" than their Android analogues?I don't need toys.
To each their own, but my Apple Watch not only tells me the date and time, but also:And I'm certainly not going to replace a fine Swiss timepiece with a buzzing mini-computer that annoys me all day long.
Curse you, Apple! Curse you to blazes for manufacturing well-made and well-thought-out devices that play well together and then forcing me to buy them!I have zero interest in living in an "ecosystem" that serves me no use other than to sell me more things I don't need simply because they play with each other.
Ah, there it is, users that appreciate the ecosystem Apple has created have "drank the Kool Aid" I suppose it was inevitable.You may be Borged (nice reference btw) but all I hear is you drank the Koolaid.
Oh? Which were the ignorant comments?Lots of ignorant anti android comments here LOL.
Since you raised the subject of "sheep": Did you actually ever read the terms of service and privacy policies of Samsung and Google before you started using that device? I did. That's one reason I no longer use them.Galaxy S21 here, I am not a sheep to fall into the apple ecosystem.
Moto G's were what my wife and I were last using before the move to iThings. They were nice phones for the money, and made right here in the good ol' USofA. Then Google sold Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. That was another reason we dumped Google.Moto G7 power, it is inexpensive and the battery lasts for two days.
How's the camera on that thing?Samsung S21 Ultra. Love it. Not a Iphone fan just not my thing.
I had a Note 8 before this and while there are some really nice Android offerings ATM I really like Samsung phones.
I might actually ponder a swap away from Apple on my next upgrade.
