I actually just switched from Apple to Android. I switched to the gestures control scheme, but personally I found that I liked it less than the gestures experience on iPhone and went back to the classic button control scheme.

It depends on what lens you’re viewing this through. Apple only has such a strong stranglehold in the US and Canada in my experience. I moved from the states to Australia and almost nobody that I know has an iPhone here, and a lot of people seem to dislike Apple.

The Pixel and the Galaxy S series of phones would be the high end name brands on Android. Xiaomi is trying to add themselves to that group as well. We will see if they succeed.
