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!

    Not who you asked but since I recently got my first foldable an Honor Magic V5 after previously owning the iPhone 3G, 4S, 5, 6, SE, XR and 13 mini. I also had the iPad 1, 2, and 3. Here’s my answer:

    1. Multitasking, I can run 3 apps side by side.
    2. I can be productive with it using apps such as OnlyOffice, just hook up a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard
    3. Great for emulating DS and 3DS games, most Bluetooth controllers should just work
    4. There’s a desktop mode but I haven’t actually used it yet. The standard multitasking features in MagicOS have been sufficient for me.

    But best of all, it is a mini tablet that fits in my pocket and I can take anywhere with me.

    Why I chose the Honor Magic V5:

    1. Significantly cheaper than the competition
    2. Largest battery of any foldable
