And here I was, contemplating a return to Android after a decade of iPhone ownership.

Consume what I’m shown? Not bloody likely.

Edit: I like my iPhone very much. But, as primarily a Windows PC user, the iPhone doesn’t interface with my PC very well. Since I’m not getting a Mac, I was considering an Android phone when it came time to replace my 6s Plus. But not now.

I'm sure you have different uses cases, but I think I never plugged my iPhone to my Mac, why do you want to plug it to your PC?

Well, it would make file sharing from one device to another easier. Right now that’s upload to cloud, then download to PC. Not a huge problem. Also there’s no way to use functions like Handoff and Universal Clipboard. The only thing I’m using my iPhone for in connection with my PC is a Bluetooth lock when I’m away for 30 seconds.
