Fair so long as it’s done by making better products where the benefit drives people away from the google application. I think that also has to be done in parallel with increasing the types of applications where iOS allowed final native default settings like the browser.

I used android from its inception until pixel 3. I hated the changes to the OS that Samsung and others did so I mostly only owned a Nexus or Pixel device.

My nexus devices ($500ish) were all generally fine. The three pixel (1, 2 and 3) devices ($1000ish), all paid in cash, all had severe hardware issues within two years.

Additionally, I tried 4 different android watches and they all performed like trash. They didn’t sync details like steps and the experience was clumsy and slow.

So I moved to Apple. Watch is far better and if I’m buying $1000+ phones they better last as long as I choose to own them. Plus Apple has either fixed or improved the reasons I liked android more such as global software defaults.

So why won’t I buy an equivalent android? I have and when you consider the full package, they are not as good of a product an iPhone. Everything has minor things you may not prefer, but all summed up, Apple is a better full package.
