I use an iPhone. I tried switching to Android 3 times over the years since the first iPhone came out. Same plan, same provider, grandfathered in, same house, same spot. Each Android phone did not get the same level of cell service in my house as the iPhone. I have side gigs I do contract work for, and I have had cases of missing calls where the Androids have cost me $100's of dollars; the phone didn't ring... just a voicemail notification showing up hours later.

After the 3rd attempt, the last being a Nexus 5, I gave up. I draw a line when a device messes with my income, regardless of my ideological stance on open source and not having a Windows device or even an Apple laptop in the house for the last 15 years. I'm hitting 40 this year, and switching doesn't have the appeal it once did, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort at this point.

To answer the question, yes we do try, and some of even want to. In my case it just wasn't in the cards
