iPhone is IMHO better, more intuitive to use unless you're used to Android in which case it isn't and you'd have to sign up to a whole stack of Apps you've already got.
Once upon a time iPhones were better in base functionality but the top end Androids have caught up - for a similar price.
Unless it's a recent (post 2018) vintage iPhone I'd suggest it's worthless to you

Google Pixel phones have pure Android - most other makes have their own shell or user interface on top of Android, often with a load of bloatware that you don't need or want...
Buying a Google phone gets you the updates fastest too - I'm running Android 13...

Totally agree.
I've got a Pixel 4a running Android 13. Like by previous phone I'll change when it breaks.

Well that's my new fact of the day. Still not changing from iOS though

I'm taking a wait and see approach at the moment but I may end up moving to a linux phone eventually.

Honor 9 on whatever version of Android they've adapted for it. It's an older phone but does everything I need it to so I haven't had much of an urge to change it for now at least.

Like I said, wait and see. But something tells me that the modular design of some of the compatible phones combined with the ability to easily update or even swap to another distro depending on your requirements may appeal to a portion of the market.

I think the issue is it takes a mass market to fund the R&D to get all the goodies into what really are remarkably small packages. And with all those existing Apps in the Apple and Google stores they're going to be like that massive VHS film stocks drove the much superior Betamax (and V2000) into oblivion. Microsoft failed to make phones work for them.
FWIW I can't see Apple beating out Android forever either unless they stop locking their iOS to their hardware. The Google business model is better.

Well it's good news for Nick, depending on the iphone model he has it should be far cheaper to fix the phone when it
gets gubbed by him mysteriously breaks for no reason whatsoever... Thumbs:

I bet you still won't be able to change the battery though, damn things are glued together now. Mine's already down to 82% of original capacity

Nearly all 5 of our laptop batteries are done … noooo: but we only really use them plugged in for work ..but still a pain …

I thought that would work but sometimes it doesn't. The power supplies don't have enough umph for the really peak but brief demands on the wiggle ampery which isn't a problem as long as the battery can be there to deliver peak current capability. But after a few years they can't.
I spent £££ on a Microsoft Surface which started to crap out after about 4 years, I changed the power supply for a more powerful one but that only worked for about a year. And can you change the battery? No (despite what the web says)

Our putor bloke said to ..charge them ..then use them unplugged …but during a wedding we would never remember to plug them in ….so better to be safe and leave plug in from beginning …plus if we have no leccy ..we have no speakers …. ;D
