iPhone XR:

I've been deeply sceptical to anything Apple since I burned myself on a MacBook Pro from 2009 to 2012 (misplaced ctrl key, no proper alt-tab replacement, opening the file selector in one window would freeze other windows from same application)

18 or so months ago I was so tired of being burned by flagship and non flagship Androids that my job would give me: Samsung 3, two Notes, Sony (can't remember but the best there was at the time), and also Nokia 6.1 A droid One edition.

The last android phone I liked was Samsung Galaxy II.

Going to iPhone was fantastic:

- when I touch an icon that app just starts unlike on all my Androids after Galaxy II where the phone seemed to always have a reason to wait a bit first.

- upgrades doesn't install Amazon ads or anything (hi Sony! Once you've sold it it is not your phone anymore)

- iCloud is fantastic

- one less thing to worry about if Google decides it doesn't like me

Now I am wondering if I should get a Mac. It can't really be that bad anymore..?
