My wife's trying to bully me into getting an iPhone for my next phone, but my impression from having used both is that Android has a much nicer UX than iOS
Like, my impression of Apple is that they make great hardware (e.g. M1 MacBook, trackpads) but on the software side (e.g. Safari, OS X) they are not as great.
This particularly matters to me for my phone because I live and die by my phone to keep myself organized so the software is really important to me and the hardware doesn't matter as much.
As a concrete example, the iOS alarm UX is much worse than the Android alarm UX the last time I checked (although things could have changed since the last time I used iOS). Android's alarm system has some killer features for me like:
-
Dismiss an upcoming alarm
Sometimes I complete a task before the alarm goes off, but I don't want to be chained to my phone just to make sure that I can dismiss the alarm when it does eventually go off. I also don't want to turn off the alarm because then I'll forget to turn it back on if it's a regularly scheduled alarm. Also, knowing that the alarm will go off soon is extremely distracting to me (very similar to the distraction level of an upcoming meeting).
-
Tells me how soon the alarm will go off when I set it
One of my big anxieties around alarms is that I accidentally set it for the wrong time (e.g. the day after I intended or AM vs. PM) to the point where before Android I would set multiple alarms across several devices for redundancy if something was important. On Android it tells me the the alarm will go off in X hours, which reassures me that I set it correctly.
