Yeah, I agree with all this, although personally I don’t leave it off. More like 50/50.

Yes, iOS keyboard is terrible. Swiping helps but only so much (and seems worse at selecting the right word). I keep hoping for improvement.

I’m an early Android adopter, I had the original T-Mobile G1, and used Androids until about 2 years ago when I switched to an iPhone. I owned every Nexus phone, most Pixels, and a few Samsungs. I ran custom firmware for years.

And I honestly don’t think I’ll ever go back. Apple has too much of a lead on hardware, security, and updates. And while I prefer Android’s UI, iOS has gotten better and has narrowed the gap.
