Android user since ~2010 (before that, Symbian).. I tried one of Apple's "Pro" phones with IOS 2021, last year I went back to Android and back to freedom even if it is Google's walled garden. Still, being able to control many aspects of the phone (choice of browser, do I need to mention different volume controls, can compile own stuff, automation) is unbeatable. To me using iPhone left me with the same crippled feeling that I would have if someone forced me to use Windows on a computer. On the plus side, my screen time was actually lower during those two years..

But it isn't.

As an owner of the device, you can install anything you want on it, from any source you'd like.
