                  I think some people have Stockholm syndrome from using android for too long. iOS is clearly a better system.

                    Indeed. I’ve wanted to throw my android through the wall on multiple occasions. Never had issues with my old iPhone

                      I've had maddening experiences on everything I've ever used for a mobile phone, Palm, Blackberry, iOS, Android, Windows, CE, you name it. Pixel 2 with stock Android 8 is far and away better than all of them. Very grateful not to be constantly irritated by my phone anymore.

                      Android is much more willing to open up to integration and try new things with third parties* (eg, LastPass has worked fine with browsers and apps for many versions) but that experimental mindset may compromise stability. Mimicking Apple's vertical integration with a reference handset (I've had Nexus 6 but Pixel 2 blows that away) so that the OS and apps are stable mitigates that disadvantage.

                      *including stealing their source code, if you're Oracle

                      So much the better that it also lacks carrier and manufacturer bloatware.

                      And I haven't seen a better phone camera, especially in low light.

                      Think it, be it.

                        I agree with @mclaincausey that stock Android is pretty good.

                        A lot of phone manufacturers layer apps, visual effects, and other junk on top of the base OS, which doesn't really add anything to the experience.

                        Then they're slow at pushing updates through. This pie chart shows which versions of Android are in use. Oreo is the latest. Nougat came out in October 2016, Marshmallow in October 2015, Lollipop in October 2014, so most phones are running a two or three year old version of the software.

                        If you want to be up to date, either buy a Pixel or a Motorola. HTC might be a good option, as Google bought their mobile phone arm, or part of it, recently.

                          It's very interesting that Android's biggest feature is that it's so customizable (and open) yet most people prefer to use stock Android in its purest form. Google's Pixel 2 might be the best Android option out now but it only receives software updates for three years (if I recall it correctly). One of which is already over. For comparison: Apple's five year old iPhone 5s will receive the latest iOS 12 this year. This level of software support is amazing.

                            Took my boy to the park to practice catching, throwing and hitting for t-ball this morning. He had his plastic bat in hand and says, “dad, watch this!” He swings the bat and in true YouTube teeball blooper form he nails me right in the family jewels and brought me to my knees. Funny not funny

                                Of course, it's hilarious. You've most certainly taken your own shots, and you're simply overjoyed it wasn't you, this time. 😃

                                My condolences, @gaseousclay

                                  In fact I managed to crush one ‘nad today halfway up a climbing frame playing with A-Dog (2.5yrs). My 1-year old swings his foot in my general groin area daily. It’s 50/50 whether it connects with something delicate.

                                          Those aren't contrary things. Having stock Android, if anything, affords you more customization, not less. Openness and extensibility aren't mutually exclusive. You can definitely run alternative launchers (UIs), for example.
