All devices are going through enshittification. Android and iOS alike.

Feature wise, you can pretty much get everything on both. One is maybe a bit more bouncy and the other a bit more squishy when you pull from the edge. But that’s about it.

Android provides a bit more customisation, iOS has better defaults and more embedded ecosystem.

Apple will now be forced to allow “side loading” (installing apps, actually) which Android had for ages. Google, on the other hand is making installations from non-Google Play sources more difficult.

Everybody will have their own preferences, but in the end on the Pro spectrum, differences are minimal.

Basically: pick your poison.

I’ve personally had Samsungs for a while and quite happy with them, even with some a annoyances. Still miss my S3. Others might have had different experiences.

There are Fairphones, PostmarketOS and other alternatives. Unfortunately though, if you’re looking for a premium phone, these are not there yet.

TL;DR Both suck about the same. Differences are in details. You’ll be about the same miserable with both.

What makes you think they care?

A track record of not breaking any laws so far?

I don’t subscribe to the notion that any particular race or (physical, not sociological) group can be evil.

People fight for resources. Sometimes with other people. History is littered with people doing the wrong things for the right causes.

Genghis Khan was from Mongolia and has killed so many people it actually affected climate at that time.

Even if you believe certain actions of certain people were evil, it’s difficult to generalize them to the whole population. Especially if they had no way to influence their decisions.

How could have a Dutch farmer change anything in the Kingdom of Netherlands? And how can a minimum wage brick-layer in England be responsible for what a UK king ordered 400 years ago?

Just as an example: look at the world today. America, Russia and Israel elected their presidents. Without getting to much into political discussion, at least some of their actions might be viewed (today) by majority of people as “evil”. Does that make all the residents of those countries evil? And their children? And grandchildren?

I really do believe that the reasoning is much simpler. And that, unfortunately, hasn’t changed even today: those who are in power and have wealth, will fight tooth and nail to keep it. By any means necessary.

Don’t all iPhones have the same sentence on them?

Yes?
