Switching from iPhone to Android fractured my world

I’ve owned an iPhone since 2013 and I’ve had my iPhone 12 Mini for four and a half years. Everyone I communicate with regularly also owns an iPhone. I love AirDrop. I love FaceTime. All my photos and videos from the last decade are stored in my iCloud and I have hundreds of voice memos and notes with creative ideas.
Just thinking about migrating over a decade of my digital life from one ecosystem to another leaves me perplexed. My iPhone-loving friends and family begged me not to do it. I almost made the switch last year when the hot pink Motorola Razr Plus debuted… but then I dreamed about the stress of the mess that having an Android would cause in my life, and decided against it.
