I’ll never go back to iPhone simply because Apple hasn’t changed.
They finally have USB but I imagine you’ll still need to use iTunes to have any chance of doing something basic like copying files off or on to it.
I think you can change some of the defaults like the keyboard settings now, but you’re still stuck with the Apple app for messaging which is kind of worse.

And you’d be wrong, going by how it’s done on iPad. The Files app lets you copy files directly to USB, and the few times I’ve used Files on my phone, it seems identical. You can also copy files to iCloud or any other cloud service like Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox from Files, or use Airdrop.
I know it’s cool to hate on Apple, but at least be up to date about hating. You haven’t needed to use iTunes to move files in years.

Yeah, I personally prefer SSH for this task, and I also like that it works with both Linux and Mac wirelessly.
iTunes doesn’t even exist anymore. Get with the times man.

Pretty much only thing it’s needed for is moving music into the Apple Music app which I don’t use.
iMessage is leagues better than the Android alternatives, all of which are available on iPhones if you really want to.
You are but one “make && make install” away from happiness. Libidevice actually works well for me and it’s free in both senses.
If you’re not already on Linux, spin up a Manjarp VM - offhand, I believe it’s in the AUR.
I expect there are other non itunes solutions, havent needed to find them.
