I am currently an IOS user, however, as the title suggests, I wish to switch to android. This is because I would prefer to use free software and not be locked into the apple ecosystem. That being said I am already locked into apple and would like to know how anyone else here has managed the switch.

I for one know I will face problems regarding group chats with friends and family on IOS, I will lose out on iCloud+ features, I will have to buy a replacement for my HomePod, I will need to replace apple home, etc.

How did anyone else here who has made such a switch replace or solve these issues?

    Out of curiousity what is it about the pixel (hardware?) That made you suggest it specifically if you’re going to flash the OS anyway

      Graphene OS only supports Pixels, and Pixels have good custom ROM support (make sure not to buy from a carrier, or you probably can’t flash them)

      because pixel was a developer focused device

      it allows unlocking and re-locking bootloader with your own custom keys and still retains warranty

      most android OEM like Samsung, oneplus provided support in the past, but are now locked down for some reason
