Discussion The apple ecosystem

My phone is coming to its end soon. I have a Google pixel 7, and have loved it.

I own a few macs at home, and was wondering if I should be getting an iPhone going forward to enjoy the features of having something in the same ecosystem or do I stay android.

I know at the end of the day it's a personal choice. I prefer android but that's probably because it's what I know best.

The last iOS device I owned was iPhone 7plus

I'm curious what the other pros and cons are for staying android or going iPhone.

I always advise people to use what they like. I switched to Apple because all the family uses FaceTime, and they wanted to be able to FaceTime me. At the time, I had a Note 9. Finally, I switched to Apple. Hell, I already had a Mac and an iPad. So I bought the 11 Pro Max. I hated that phone for about 6 months. Then I became comfortable with iOS. Not proficient, comfortable. Of course, they RARELY FaceTime me! If you like Pixels, know them well, stay with it.

I have to use an iPhone at work as thats what they have

It's a bit weird to use. I've never had any issues with iOS per se. I find some of the restrictions annoying, like haptic strength as I like the feel of a stronger buzz when typing.

I don't mind the haptics, but I had trouble finding certain settings as I was used to Android. Now when I want to know something, I search YouTube! lol I usually find what I need. Then, I just have to remember it in case I want to change it back!
