I've just about had it with the way Apple does things and for the first time in years I'm considering dumping my iPhone. Unfortunately my only other options is the dreaded Android OS. Yuck! I can't win either way.
I am a big fan of the Moto phones. My brand new unlocked Moto E4 was all of $110. The G and higher end Moto's are even better. You can put different launchers on an Android and make the UI the way you want. Also the Pixel is great (but costs more).
