iPhone or Android?

[Berenburger]

I’m stucked in the Apple eco system: iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Watch, AirPods, iCloud+.
Must say: it works very well together.

Another thing I like about Android is the ability to move files to and from my PC. I can send links to my PC, I can get notifications on SMS and calls on my PC too.

On my old old Nokia dumb phone I bought in 2003 before I graduated to smarter than me phones would receive adverts regarding sales at a mall depending on my location.

Unfortunately for some of us, a cell phone is a must have item.

I always had an Android...simply because an iPhone is realy expensive and i do not like their marketing concept.
I bought my first smartfone in 2010...which was a Samsung Galaxy something. Right now I use a cheapo Motorola G54 and a Poco X6 pro. I always buy a loose phone without a plan,because in doing so your phone is cheaper. I never spend more then 350 euros on a new phone.And then i will do with it 3 or 4 years.

I too used to only purchase less-expensive phones until the cameras on the better ones became so good I no longer needed to carry a separate camera. Now, I could never go back since my phone is also my main camera. To me having a good camera is the #1 feature I look at when purchasing a new phone.

I see many more problems mentioned about using Fastmail with iOS.

I gather that Apple supports iPhone models for longer and that they are easier (but costly) to repair. It's never tempted me to switch.

I see many more problems mentioned about using Fastmail at all.

Apple confirms it uses Google cloud for iCloud

That's not what the sources say. They say Apple uses several 3rd party cloud services to store data.

Don't know if this is still the case, but in 2021 Apple was Google's largest corporate customer according to this article and thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comme...rate_customer/

Can't say I have made any scientific comparison, but when I ran a small business we used the big three for various things: Microsoft, Apple, and Google. IMHO the Google stuff was by far the most reliable, easiest to use, and least prone to mysterious problems. That's for the small business versions. Icloud is rather temperamental, and One Drive is not much better. Google Drive is faster and more reliable.
