Good question. On reflection I think it’s a re-realization that Apple traps you in a brainwash experience, but form and function are still there to be played with and it’s a reveal.  Android has its issues but it’s a better tool and ecosystem for what I’m doing and it makes the Apple “treats you like a dummy prisoner” approach quite stark. The flip is actually also a surprisingly good form factor now. It’s not for everyone; but it’s good to remember it’s not all run and won. But everyone who picks it up goes hmmm?!? I feel something… and then snaps their cage shut and walks in line. Just like I have had to at times.

Although Samsung has dialled back their own footprint on the phone to the point of being stock Android and I think that’s for the better.

If Samsung wasn't categorized as "android" I think apple would be in constant battle with samsung

Loving it for the experience and some of its abilities the iPhone doesn’t have.

That sounds exciting! How’s the Samsung flip working out for you so far?

I feel like Androids are much more advanced and iPhones are for people who are not that good with technology - ease of use

I’ve used Android before. I prefer it actually. But I needed FaceTime and an iPhone landed on my desk so I had to use it.
