  • I made the switch too earlier this year from a Samsung Galaxy S10e to an iPhone 12 and I agree to all of your points.

    The only thing I liked much more on Android were the notifications. Android’s notification are so much more flexible with the option to customise each different kind of notification for each app, to have silent notifications and “collapsed” ones that do not show a marker in the status bar.

    Speaking of that, it is annoying that on iOS there is no indicator in the status bar if you have a notification, so that you always have to pull down to check for new ones.

    Beside that, Apple ecosystem is so incredibly well integrated and in my opinions feels overall smoother than Android.

    EDIT: changed tone a little bit



  • If you tell me in the same way that I’d tell you my dietary preference, I wouldn’t mind at all. I’m not in the business of telling other people what to eat or not eat and as long as you extend me the same courtesy, we should get along just fine.

    The point is that this is not like having different favourite colours.

    One “dietary preference” slaughters intelligent beings with complex social behaviour and emotions, the other does not.

    One contributes a massive amount of greenhouse gases and thus fuels climate change, the other’s impact is much, much smaller.

    One degrades soils and pollutes rivers, the other less.

    One leads to zoonotic epidemics, the other does not.

    One leads to incredible water consumption, the other much less.

    In short, one “preference” has a massive negative impact on many aspects of life and the earth, the other is a plant-based diet. Consequences!
