I have been dual wielding the Android/iPhone combo for the last 10 years. I use my iPhone for iMessage, Facetime, Apple Pay, and when my Android is dead. And it works wonderfully with my Apple watch and Airpods when I’m working out. I use my Android for everything else. So my Android is my main device and my iPhone is secondary.
Photo Editor by Macguyver. It’s confusing at first and takes a while to get setup. But after that, you can backup all the settings so you never have to worry about that again. It has so many features. By far the best I’ve ever tried. If you’re looking for something simple, then picsay pro is a good one.
Buy a Moto Edge Plus 2022 from Boost Mobile for $200.
Go on ebay and pay $5 for sim unlock code.
Unlock bootloader.
Root.
You now have a fully unlocked flagship device with a 144hz refresh rate Oled Panel, Snapdragon 8 gen1 processor, 8gb of ram, Face Unlock, Fingerprint scanner embedded power button, and 3 cameras.
Best of all 512gb of internal storage so no need for a slow SD card.
This is what I did.
I use localsend. Can send between my Android, iPhone, and Desktop easily. I also have a “Copy Paste” telegram group. When I send something to the group, it appears on all my devices. I kind of like this because I have a history of all my links, pics, files, etc and I can just do a search if I ever need to go back and find something. Also, Photosunc is like $6 a year and anytime I take a pic it auto backs it up to my desktop server via SMB.
You can use a flash drive now with thunderbolt to usb-c converter I believe.
I don’t use any apple services except for iMessage, Facetime, and Apple Pay (to accept payments). So no iCloud, Apple Music, Apple Care, etc. None of that garbage.
I carry both. I’ve been doing it so long that when I have one and not the other, I feel naked. 2 phones and my Keys, everywhere I go… except the gym. I only bring my iPhone then.
Sure no problem. You may be used to reddit. People are a bit nicer over here :)
