I agree completely with your assessment of your Apple devices. I too had
a Blackberry and at the time I enjoyed using it and it did last a long time
despite the abuse from me.
I also have had several Android devices from Motorola, Samsung and LG. Mostly
top tier devices for the most part.
They have never been as smooth as my iPhones which I have been using since one
of
the early models. I currently have an iPhone 14 as well.
One of my biggest complaints with Android has been the massive amount of
bloatware
that they come with. Apps from the manufacturer as well as the carrier. And
some
can be a PITA to remove.
I've never used an Apple or Android tablet so I can't comment on that.
My only complaint with the iPhone and Apple was iTunes as I don't use a desktop
Mac so it was quite clunky to me. Android was better in that regard because it
was seen from the PC as just another file system. To me that is logical.
