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!

      com.facebook.system

      com.facebook.appmanager

      com.facebook.services

      You can see them in apps in settings by tapping filter to right of app list and toggling show system apps.

      Honorable mention:

      com.samsung.android.smartcallprovider

      This is a non Facebook fun ones such as one that sends every callers phone # to a company called Hiya which has a nasty privacy policy.

        My phone doesn’t have filter, and can’t show system apps.

        EDIT: I found what you’re talking about in the Settings>Apps app list.

        My phone, at least, (S25U) doesn’t have those in the list. I forget if Facebook was on the phone when I got it, but if it was I deleted it.
