Over the years, I've found myself using my Android phone more and more like a normal user than like a power user. Price is probably the main reason I wouldn't switch to an iPhone.
I used to have Tasker to do lots of fun automation things, but getting root for some things was problematic and Tasker was a battery hog.
I used to put custom ROMs and Kernels, but somehow stock versions of the system were always more stable.
I didn't really need a terminal on my phone cause I'd have to squint a lot to type stuff.
I don't really connect my phone to a computer anymore. I have cloud storage that syncs my Desktop and Documents. It's more convenient to just upload a file to my Desktop folder and have it magically show up on my computer.
I don't explicitly download music or backup photos like I used to. Google Photos and Spotify have me covered there.
I don't keep widgets on the launcher. I keep only one home page and I like it to be minimal. I also find it better to access the feature filled app than a dumbed down widget.
I used to keep live wallpapers but they're pretty big battery drains. My wallpaper is just black cause my phone has an OLED screen.
Blocking ads across the OS is pretty good and I really do miss it, but I've often found that the more battery efficient option is to get the premium versions of these apps which are ad free. As for ads while browsing, I don't really have a good answer. Live with it?
Also, if you get an Android, I would recommend not getting one that's not heavily customized - Samsung, LG and the likes. A stock version of Android will allow you to customize with greater degree - especially when it comes to obtaining root.
IMO, I would consider Android not for any of its power features, but for normal features that should be allowed in iOS but aren't.
Examples of those are:
* Setting default apps
* Some decent home screen customization (hiding apps is useful)
* Installing apps from other sources
Android is customizable. I've seen it myself. But with that degree of customization, I found myself tweaking incessantly and never being happy with the end result. There's always more to do and it often didn't look as polished as I would have liked.
Personally speaking, I'm sort of done fighting Apple and Google over customization and privacy concerns. I just want to get things done. If it's slightly inconvenient or the convenience comes at the cost of some data sharing, then so be it. I've read through some of the comments and I see some people that (in my opinion) are very aggressively defending their right to customization or privacy. Having tried a lot of customization on Android and owning a Mac, I don't get that anymore. By the end of the day I just end up using WhatsApp, Chrome and a few other choice apps. Those are available on any OS.
