I’m surprised people care that much about apps nowadays. I’ve definitely tapered down from years ago where I was going crazy with phone games and just pretty much only use social media apps nowadays.

I remember I used to be crazy with stuff like widgets and themes when I had an android or jailbroken iphones but I realized I can’t be bothered to do any of that anymore.

Yeah, most people nowadays have had phones for long enough that there isn't much novelty to messing around with apps or widgets.

​

Personally, even though Apple has mostly caught up with respect to hardware, there are still quite a few software features Apple does not support:

  • FireFox mobile adblocker
  • Game emulation
  • Root access
  • Support for more USB devices
  • Always-On-Display tweaks
  • YouTube Vanced

If they fixed some of these, it'd be a much closer decision.

You can download FireFox and integrate the adblocker into safari (unless we're talking about two different things/situations)

Oh, cool. I didn't know Safari had an adblocker, that's pretty neat. I still don't think that solution allows for Firefox w/ adblocker, which is what I use on desktop / android, so I'd want my data to sync.

Yeah safari integration is adblock only, but you can just use FireFox on its own and it'll sync. If you want to use FF as your default browser you can do that too
