I prefer iPhone for a miriad of little things. Can't name one particular thing, but it's just constant annoyance, when I have to use Android. I probably could write a list of 100 items, if I'd care to document it all.

That said, after Apple started drinking AI juice, I don't want to deal with it anymore. Another major annoyance with iPhones is that they ditched touch ID. Face ID just doesn't work with me at all, it's like 30% of success rate, absolutely terrible. My last phone was iPhone SE, but new models switched to this Face ID, and that's a real deal breaker for me. I even considered buying few iPhone SE phones, while they're still selling at the stores and keep them for later use, but that seems weird and they'll get obsolete with software updates anyway.

I switched to Arch on desktop and I'm going to switch to GrapheneOS on my Pixel (native Pixel Android is absolutely terrible experience, GrapheneOS is bad, but everything else is just worse).

The single thing that solidifys it for me is that every Android device I have ever used has suffered from noticeable micro stuttering.

Their current top of the line TV device drops an entire video frame every couple of seconds while watching 60fps content, cause very noticeable jerking.

    Could you remind me which brand still sell a 60Hz screen on their 1000$ phone?

      Don't know don't care. It's like asking a non car enthusiast what kind of differential is on their Toyota.

      Stable 60Hz is still preferable to stuttery 120Hz.

        It’s good Android has stable 120Hz then. But if you are happy overpaying for a mediocre phone, that’s your right. I did it once. I’m not planning to do it ever again.

      Uh, every top model iPhone since the 13 is 120hz.

      • StopDisinfo910 5 days ago

        The non Pro phone is 60Hz despite being more than 1000€ here. I wish it was a joke but Apple ripoff knows no limit sadly. Meanwhile, most competitors phones half that price have 120Hz.

          150€ Xiaomi phones have a 120Hz AMOLED screen these days.
