    But surely the only other choice is Android, in which case I am then stuck with a single option there too?

    Look I get you are happy with IOS,I wont try and change that.
    However Android is a different outlook.
    You back up to whomever/whatever you like.
    I have Google default plus other back up solutions as a belt and braces.

    However thats me and Im not here to change someone from what works,at a cost ;)

    I have no problems with backups, etc, as Apple already provides all of those services flawlessly.

    I’m trying to understand how changing all of those services to something else benefits me because surely my only other viable option is android, and being stuck on android is just as bad as being stuck on iOS?

    Being on Android doesn't limit your hardware supplier choice ... being on iOS does. :)

    Not really bothered about hardware choice; I’m only going to be buying and using 1 phone, not multiple!

    You asked the question,I answered.
    so you ask a hardware question and come back with a software argument.......
    your watch argument proves the walled garden apple situation perfectly.

    I'm out.
