I broke away from iOS by selling my X. Lol
What do you use now? And do you miss iOS or see yourself returning?

Exactly why they’re not likely to ever do that.
In that case, why not use WhatsApp (for example)?
Personally I’m perfectly happy with Apple and don’t have any plans to switch. I know a ton of people (the vast majority of my colleagues, clients, friends and family) that use Messages but very few that use other platforms. It would be an uphill battle even if I were interested in switching.
Messages is the most widely used iPhone app in spite of the availability of third party solutions. Making Messages and FaceTime available on other platforms would only give those users holding onto iPhones simply because of those two apps a way out. I doubt Apple will ever do that.
I must be missing something... how do you communicate now with people who don't have iPhones? I assume that even here, no-one only knows iPhone users!
I still use Messages via SMS. The sticking point for many is iPhone to iPhone through iMessage. I’m sure Apple is aware and why Messages won’t be coming to Android anytime soon.
Got an S9. Always the possibility of returning to iOS. So far liking exploring Android.What do you use now? And do you miss iOS or see yourself returning?
I have a IPhone 8+ and a Huawei P20 pro. Had a Samsung S8+ earlier but didn't get along with fingerprintsensor on the back. I really like P20 pro, love emui. It's a great phone and it feels like I will hold on to those two for a while. The only thing I miss on P20 pro is wireless charging, with that it would be 100%I have been using iPhone since 2007, only "broke the chain" with Galaxy S3. I kind of love the iPhone X, the simplicity and synchronization between my phone, iPad and MacBook. BUT, I really would like to try Android again. I am tempted to buy the Huawei P20 Pro, the Huawei Mediapad 5 and Huawei Matebook X Pro. But somehow, Samsung attracts me more than Huawei. People are talking about the P20 Pro´s camera, but I have a feeling that Samsung Galaxy S9 performs pretty well too.
It seems like most people here owns both an iPhone X and a Pixel, or iPhone or Samsung. Anyone else that owns a Huawei? Or have a least thought about it?

No, no macbook. What do you mean with sync?Do you have a MacBook as well? What do you do to sync those devices as best as possible?
No, no macbook. What do you mean with sync?
For photos I use Dropbox and Google photo to sync between my devices. I don't use auto sync, I sync those photos I want to save or have them on my computerLike Handoff and other things that makes it easy to continue working on something you have started on on another device. One of the things I find great about Apple, is the synchronization of pictures. I can take a picture with my iPhone, edit it, and then it is ready on my machine when I get home. Whish there was a solution for this with Android.
I had a pixel 2 before and I bought the iPhone X mainly for looks. Since then I hardly touched my pixel 2 even though the google assistant and camera are much better on that. Just love the form factor of iPhone X and the aesthetics. It’s the most beautiful phone for sure.
So I’ve sold my pixel 2 now. My wife has a Samsung s9 Plus which I never even touch as I hate touchwiz UI
So it’s iPhone X for me all the way!!
I've had the S9 for a couple weeks now. The X is sold and gone. But I could see myself returning to iOS sooner rather than later.
It's the less tangible things that make a difference. Someone mentioned "Handoff" above. I also have a Macbook so know the convenience. There's also integration with Apple TV. The look and feel from app to app and consistency in UI features.
But will carry on with android and the S9 until at least the fall iPhone launch event.
