Apple’s build quality and usability still curb stomps anything within miles of the same features.

usability

I can do way more useful things on Android than I can on iPhone, things you'd have to jailbreak the iPhone for. There's a reason iPhones are popular with grandmas, teens, and others who just want a phone that does phone things easily, and there's also a reason they are not that popular with hardcore nerds who like to fuck around with their devices. It's a phone that targets a specific type of person. There's nothing wrong with that. People see "usability" differently. Some people see it as "ease of use". Others care more about what is possible to do with it. It's just like the Windows/Linux thing.

This is a genuine question that I’ve asked android users and never had a response that isn’t vague and hand-wavy.

What things do you do on your android device that can’t be done without a jailbreak in the apple ecosystem? I’m looking for things beyond visual changes or things that a user would only use once in a blue moon.

I would love a better understanding, please and thank you

Half of my apps are side-loaded including the one I'm typing this on.
