Honestly I don’t hate iOS. It had been a LONG time since I had used it, and they’ve made serious improvements. There are certainly things I miss from Android (better notifications, better gestures, able to change what buttons do), but it’s been ages since I bothered rooting or using custom ROMs, so I haven’t lost nearly as much as I thought I would.
iOS is much better on battery life, as a general rule. Also the Apple Watch meshes with the iPhone in a way that WearOS can only pretend at.
I had a really annoying transition period, but once I got into the iOS workflow I was fine. Had to rethink how I do certain things, but honestly I feel like I navigate modern springboard faster than I did Nova or whatever home screen I was using on Android.
(Of course my springboard looks completely different from the average iOS user, since I came from Android and other iOS user’s ugly monstrosities evolved over years of using substandard, terrible springboard before it was finally made good.)
I’ve made sure to keep my data up to date in Google so I can transition back if something from the Android side really wows me, but for now I’m pretty happy.
Edit: Not really sure why this got downvoted. I’m not advocating anything here, just sharing my experience. Sorry I’m not miserable, I guess?
