I have been an iPhone user for many years, but I feel like Apple forces you to use other Apple products. I recently bought a non-Apple smartwatch and the steps of the Apple Health are impacting the smartwatch because the Apple Health steps are not accurate. I am now going to get an Android and I think I have made my decision.

Thanks for the detailed info. I have been an iPhone user for 12 yrs or more. I was impressed with my son's Pixel and it really got me thinking about making the "change".
