I think both are great and have nearly all of the same things. Really all I was getting at.

iCloud is a plus for me as it intertwines everything I use seamlessly. I can’t argue a point against you not wanting an apple account.

I agree with the side loading points but for me the greater argument there is what are you needing to side load and is there not something better that already exists without having to side load? I’m a super nerd and don’t have anything I need to side load but I have AltStore setup just in case I would want to.

I agree with the browser crap too. I have no issues there though either other than safari maybe being too strict on cookies at times. I have all the extensions I need, even userscripts. Shortcuts is extremely powerful these days too.

Why do I need a third party sms? I honestly don’t even know what that means? There’s tons of different apps for alternate phone numbers for texting. Or you really want to have a completely different messages app using all of the features of the Messages app? For what? Launcher apps were cool when I was flashing custom roms and stuff as a teenager.

They’re not miles above. What FOSS do you absolutely need that isn’t on iOS?

Again I find them both great… I just don’t understand the need to come in to threads and bash apple users.
