I used iPhones for years and switched to Android. I had to factory reset my Pixel 6 pro twice in a matter of months (no side-loaded apps, very few apps in general, and not any weird use cases). That's in addition to the months of issues with BlueTooth (and still some today), the camera overheating quickly (4k video was one of the main reasons I bought it), and more. My wife has used Samsung for years and has also had more issues than I did with iPhone. Same experience with iPad vs Android tablets. I waffle about switching back, but will likely stay with Android at this point. Still, enough BS could push me back the other way.
To me, iPhones/iPads were way reliable than Android has been for me.
Each user has their own experience. In a household of 6 where I'm the sole android user , iPhones are not perfect.
I've seen them just freeze requiring a trip to the Apple store to unblock, constant disconnects frim WiFi, not switching on mesh network, dropping apple watch connections.
I've never experienced any issues with my android devices, save fory pizel 7 which seems to forget Bluetooth devices, which is super annoying.
I was on Samsung for a long time and didn’t have problems.
Early into the iOS 16 lifecycle things were a lot less stable, but seem to have calmed down now.
Neither platform felt as stables as iOS 6 way back in the day, but maybe that’s just my rose tinted glasses
wouldnt argue. interesting take.
