Title: Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships

Body:

Hey everyone, I’m looking at phones around the $1000 price point and would love some input. I’ve been an iOS user for years but I’m seriously considering making the jump to Android this time.

Here’s what I’m looking at:

iPhone 17 Pro - The safe choice since I’m already in the ecosystem

Samsung Galaxy S25 - Hearing good things about this generation

Pixel 10 Pro - Probably crossing this one off the list due to the stability issues I’ve been reading about (the 911 call failures, overheating problems, etc.)

Nothing Phone - The design looks really cool, but I’m not sure if they have anything in this price range

For those who’ve made the switch from iOS to Android (or vice versa), what would you recommend? Any major gotchas I should know about? And is the Nothing Phone even worth considering as a daily driver at this price point?

Thanks in advance!

    Yeah, something like this. Going from iOS to Android is potentially very rough, depending on how you use your phone, and going de-googled Android right off the bat might be worth it, if you value not being surveilled for advertising all the time and like it rough, I guess.

    I’m on a Pixel 8 Pro now, with GrapheneOS, and it’s been great.

    Just saw that the new Nothing phones come with unremovable Facebook bloat installed BTW, which is pretty bad.
