I would never go back to android. When an apple update comes out fixing issues I can get it for my phone. With android you never know if an update will reach your phone. Android is a complete shit show.
It cuts both ways. I'd never go to iOS because they prevent me from using my preferred web browser as part of vendor lock-in. Everything is heavily channelled through the Apple Store and ecosystem so they can take their cut.
It depends what is most important to you. I prefer more freedom and control over my device.
Do you mean your preferred browser, or preferred browser rendering engine? I'm fairly certain all of the major browsers are available on iOS, but they all have to use the built-in Webkit engine.
You have to use safari, unless they changed that, you aren't allowed to change the default browser.
The default browser can definitely be changed. I’ve got mine set to Firefox.
Hasn't been the case for a few releases of iOS.
