Same- I stick with them out of spite, since I refuse to use a device that doesn't allow replacing the OS or installing your own software ("sideloading")

But they're pretty clearly worse as phones and I'll go to my grave mad about the headphone jack.

I'm still mad that I have to keep track of a tiny 3.5mm to USB-C dongle.

I've been very happy to have my headphone port back since I upgraded from iPhone 7 to REDMAGIC 9S Pro
