    In the office today. Nothing exciting going on. I do have a test iPhone 15 I’m considering trying out (moving my personal sim over to it) but I’m so embedded into the Android/Google ecosystem that I don’t know if I can be bothered. Plus it’d render my smartwatch somewhat useless, at least while I use the iPhone which wouldn’t be permanent.

    I will likely change my mind in the next 15-20 minutes and just do it. I’m a wildcard.

      I hate apple. Was a samsung/android fan for years and years and years. I got a work iphone a few years back and went “meh, may as well get the watch” and never really looked back. The apple watch is amazing, how samsung have never been able to get that quite right blows my mind. Well worth a try cause at worst you’ll come back to android with a new appreciation for the stuff that makes it great.

        I like iOS for their app ecosystem, but I can’t deal with not having direct access to my filesystem. Also sideloading on Android is heaps easier. And Firefox has extensions on Android.

        I had a jailbroken iPhone for ages and it was awesome. But I think cydia and all that scene is dead now.

          Pretty sure it does have filesystem access now. Or near enough to it anyway. I never side loaded apps anyway.

          Honestly, I had hella issues with SD card storage back on I wanna say s10? the phone juttered and stalled and really struggled, the second I pulled the card it was totally fine again. took it to Samsung who couldnt find a fault so just decided not worth it. I just buy a big enough phone and “deal” with it these days. I’ve only filled it once I think, and the iphone “Dump quality photos to icloud storage” solved the issue.

        Every time I look at the Apple watch, I just can’t get past the bit where you need to charge it every day. I have a Garmin, and already hate that it only goes about 5 days between charges.
