I have used an iPhone for 2 years and getting an Android 6 months ago was a breath of fresh air. I could install any app I wanted, including custom launchers, sms, TTS, etc. I didn’t have to sign into a MAGMA account to use the device. I had a headphone jack. I could add a network speed tracked in the status bar. I could actually implement DNS adblocking and it worked. I could install Firefox extensions - a huge thing that’s 36% of the reason I’m not going back to iPhone.
Orion allows Firefox extensions and I’m sure others do as well. If you’re a nerd, love tinkering around constantly, and not your standard insta/tiktok/facebook/insert dating app user which I would argue is a huge amount of phone users. Android is the obvious choice, but only specific ones of course cuz there’s hate there too towards specific brands if you’re super nerd.
DNS ad blocking works too through VPN ad blockers (for 4-5? Years now). I don’t want to argue but every point you made makes no sense. You just didn’t do any research or are not really at the nerdom level to be so appreciative of an Android.
DNS ad blocking on iOS has been fine a few years at least. I’ve been using NextDNS on mine since 2020. I actually shocked some family members at how easy it was to setup on theirs, to the point where they felt weird not seeing the ads plastered everywhere. One actually wanted them back. Stockholm Syndrome, I guess.
You can use either their app, which toggles a network profile for the DNS, or install a MDM profile from their site, which is a more persistent option. I prefer the app as you can toggle it off if something isn’t working and you want to confirm whther the DNS is the culprit.
