What I mean is this. Android’s biggest attraction (aside from price) is its openness. You can customize this and that, sideload a whatever to change everything. It’s your phone, your way.

I’ll be honest. It sounds amazing. Sounds amazing. The less amazing part is when you realize that making something yours means you personally have to do everything to make it happen. Yes you can download premise stuff but all the setup, decisions, troubleshooting is on you.

There was a time when I thought I was missing out so I did the jailbreaking thing. It was great, I could do this and that and all the rest.

But then I noticed my phone wasn’t working as great as it was with stock iOS.

What I learned was it was a lot of work and after the novelty wore off I didn’t care. I don’t even change my wallpaper.

What I value now is a rock solid OS with amazing peripherals. I just want something that works.

tl;dr

customizing is fun till it isn’t then I just want a phone. And AirPods.
