Best Phone for Android Auto in the Lightning? Any to Avoid?

And see I felt completely the opposite. Apple putting settings in various different locations, some in app, some in different "centers", some in the app but only through the settings screen. The fact that you had to hold the power button for five seconds to turn on, but there wasn't any visible notice it had turned on for 10-15 seconds. The haphazard way the "back" button appeared in apps. The draconian control of the home screen, and then fact it was FIFTEEN years for apple to give any sort of widget on the home screen. And don't get me started on Apple not showing available apps if heaven forbid you ever have a device old enough to stop getting updates.

Those are just some examples but even after a year of use I felt like I was always discovering some "clunky" way of interaction, and that's before the walled garden.

No system is perfect but for me iOS has always been way more a pleasure to use. Back in the day we just jailbroke the phones but over the years there is less and less reason to do that since they have finally added all the shit we used to have to jailbreak to get. I want to like android but it jist always feels unfinished to me. And all those stupid notifications that they put across the very top of the screen would drive me crazy. lol.

Thank you all for the input. I picked up an S25 Ultra and looking forward to trying out Google Maps and Android Auto.

S25 is a good choice

I have two iPhones, business and personal. I'm thinking about converting one to Android. Are there Androids that work better than the rest for Android Auto in the Lightning? Any to avoid?

I'd be converting the personal phone, so no need for business related work on it. It would be for pictures, texting, FordPass, Googe Maps, ABRP and the Android Auto apps. It would be great if it could handle streaming to Sync when the streaming apps are allowed. It would also be nice if it wasn't obsolete too quickly. All my previous Android phones have been by Samsung - last one was an S8 Active. Any recommendations on which Android phones to consider?

Thanks!

Tempted by the dark side, you are
