Samsung's constant chasing of Apple has removed most of the reasons I would buy a Samsung phone.

For me it was:
- adding sponsored links (amazon I think) in an OS upgrade on my flagship phone
- camera (and other apps but with camera it is most annoying) sometimes taking way to long to open, as if there was one or more network calls involved
- general lagging
- software updates stopped after less than two years
Went to a cheap iPhone and it was way smoother. I understand Android and Samsung has improved, but why switch back? My entire family is on iPhone now and my only problem is someone thought it was a good idea to put a random limit on 6 persons in a family group. (BTW, Android had the same problem last I checked. So much for diverse teams.)

It also kills me that Google has a more open security hardware platform. There's reasons GrapheneOS is Pixel-only.
