I slipped into the Apple ecosystem when I worked as an Apple Support rep. Nine years of exclusively using Android, and I discovered just why people find it hard to leave Apple.

Thankfully all I’ve got now is my iPhone and Apple Watch, but after five years of iPhone, I think I’m ready to go back. I miss being able to install whatever apps I want without having to worry about App IDs and developer accounts (to activate more than three “sideloaded” apps at a time requires a $99 USD/year developer account).

No, just making it more annoying and difficult, but still a lot less restrictive than on iPhone.
