Number of reasons

  • F-droid(Basically not having to go through proprietary app store) and apps only on them
  • Multitasking is leaps and bounds better(windowed mode, split screen...)
  • Fingerprint
  • SD card
  • Connect phone on Win11 (I know it's microsoft but it works great and I don't ever plan to use Mac
  • Customization, which is basically non-existent in iOS
  • Samsung Dex. It's a bit more than a gimmik to me.
  • File management. Iphone is a freaking joke

There are some things that iPhone is just better but all those things are things that I can live without.
