How many people in this thread would dump their Android for an iPhone if they: - allowed real 3rd party browser engines - let you uninstall all the apple bloatware apps

Absolutely not.

Even if they did all of that and also allowed unrestricted sideloading, iOS is still awful overall, and iPhones themselves are terrible value. Even 16e and 17e start at €600/800. I can get a better android phone for €300, and I can't imagine spending more than €500 on a phone, let alone €1000 to get a basic feature like 120Hz refresh rate.

If you added "Allowing manual sideloading of apps" to that list I would jump to an iPhone in a heartbeat

There's TrollStore, but that's a hack not an official way.

		TrollStore isn't supported on iOS versions past 17, so if you want to use an OS released in the past three years (and still receiving security updates) it isn't an option.

yes, having an ADB type of CLI tool is a must.

Due to App Store $99 per year compared to PlayStore one-time $25 and iPhone being unaffordable for most people in my country, there's too many niche and/or local apps I'm using in Android where they won't port to iOS.

Nope, you'll have to pry my headphone jack and IR blaster out of my cold dead hands.

I’ll dump my iPhone for an Android as soon as:

Not me, because Apple still disallows direct competition with their other 'apps/features' like Compass.
