I don’t understand why you are being downvoted. that is simply the truth.

I have been using an iphone 12 pro for the past 3 weeks ,while my pixel 6 is getting its battery replaced and it’s been painful.

i’m missing a lot of apps, the ones I do find are limited or asking for monthly subscriptions.

i am unable to play a downloaded mp3 unless i go through hoops&hurdles .

i am no longer able to watch a youtube video without ads (unless I do 3 steps of passing them to adguard), or using sponsorblock ( i am on ios 18.2, otherwise I would have jail broken it to oblivion).

android is simpy better in terms of freedom. IF or when it’ll become a locked garden like ios, it’ll truly be a sad day for the mobile world.

    What apps? Are they all from the Play store?

    You can download the MP3 and play it in VLC. It’s not difficult.

    Brave browser on iOS will block YT ads, but I’m guessing you’re not using the official YT client on your android, so that’s a moot point.

    But not better in keeping your data private.

    Also, is the shift key broken on your phone?
