The only advantage Android has over iOS is being able to install [any] software.

Just about. There used to be more, but if im honest, if it works in iOS then its a decent experience most of the time.

But my custom apps makes or breaks my phone. Its so convenient.

iOS is infinitely more polished than Android. It’s rather stable and at least the main notification system isn’t that bad for privacy.

Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO’s iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can’t really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.

That being said I’ll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I’m tired of corporations trying to control my devices.

Well I’m using graphene and it’s so laggy and can’t keep more than one app open at a time, so.

What phone, you must be running one of the first ones they made graphene for

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see what phone you have in that post.

I didn’t include it because it doesn’t matter. 7a.

I’m not sure I follow, it seems like the issue you are running into is a hardware one, the software may be trying to compensate, but it seems like a performance issue first and foremost. I’m just curious if that is the case since I can’t think of another difference between you and I.
