If you want to talk about souls, that was lost when Android stopped giving their versions funny dessert names. I miss waiting for the next sweet's name to come up on my screen when Google announced the next Android.
2008–2014 felt like a golden age: new social networks everywhere, a flood of Android phones, fresh companies every month, new UI designs for apps. So much variety in hardware + software, and it all felt people-first.
Today? Feels saturated. Personally, the only hype is for gaming handhelds: the stuff that stuttered for me in 2018 now runs at a steady 60 fps in my hands. Wild.

Just read that Android is locking down on apk sideloads. All apps must be verified through the Play Store and signed.
At this point, iPhones seem like the better option going forward. There's nothing that Android would offer any more.
