Not to add to the derailment here but wait until you need to use accessibility tools (not wishing that on anyone btw)! I was a droid, pc dweeb my whole life. I often joked that Apple products were for finger painters. Still being somewhat new to vision loss I have switched to the dark side. Like you said, Apple just works. They’ve nailed accessibility. Especially as it’s seamless and intuitive from one device to another (phone, pad, Mac, watch, tv). Pick up any Apple device, enable whatever accessibility features you need and it’s exactly the same (for the most part, I’m having trouble learning all the keyboard shortcuts on Mac but the Trackpad works just like the gestures on the phone screen) across the entire platform. Droid has accessibility features but everything’s different from one model/brand to the next, from one app to the next, and while you can sync to other devices, every device (pc, tv, watch, etc) has different commands and menu structures along with each individual app within. It’s just a total nightmare. Upgrade your phone, you need to learn how to use it all over again as it for sure will not operate exactly like the old one. I can go to anyone else’s iPhone, have them enable voiceover and then I can instantly use it. I couldn’t even imagine trying on someone else’s droid…(Motorola, Samsung, Google, etc., not to mention carrier specific os….. every one operates a bit differently).
Edit. Oh and support! I ordered my first Mac, a mini, and I couldn’t even turn it on. Call up Apple accessibility department and they ask for my Apple ID, verify my phone number and ask for permission to FaceTime me. They walked me through everything to turn it on and connect to the Internet by telling me to move my phone left, right, up, down, move the mouse, click, etc., then ask if they can connect directly to my Mac and… bam…turned on my accessibility features and walked me through the basics. They even sent me how to use accessibility features videos. Try that with Dell…

but what the heck lol
