Yet Apple shits on the freedom of their users. But if you want to live in the golden cage, why not.
Also it was Apple insecurity that enabled hundreds of private celebrity photos to leak on the web.

Congrats, the S7 Edge is a great device :-) A bit envious right now, enjoy!

I've been given an iPhone as a company phone, and I personally own an HTC Android phone and the M10 FHD with Ubuntu.
You've done a great job getting rid of your iPhone, Michael. At some point last year, I broke my previous HTC phone, and told myself I would use the company phone as my only phone then and save some money. Using the iPhone full time I realized how bad an OS iOs was. It just doesn't do anything the way you would expect it to do. It's just so frustrating and limited, it got me crazy. After only a week (!!!) I couldn't take it anymore and I bought a new HTC with Android. If it wasn't a company phone, I would have shattered it from a 25-story building or with a hammer. It's just that frustrating.
The writing part is just hell. The hold & touch to get the magnifier to remove a typo or one these idiotic autocorrections you never asked for is the less ergonomic design ever thought. No wonder you can find all these iOS nonsensical text conversations on the Internet due to the ugly auto correction... Too much of a hassle to modify some text already entered. And I won't even begin with customization (the lack thereof), the ugly (childish) icons that you have no choice but to have on your home screen (instead of, e.g., a classy meteo widget). I could go on and on for hours (the way it randomly doesn't get back to previous screen but to home screen in the email app, app settings not... in apps, the non smart phone app, Safari who asks you to effing introduce the "www."...)
It is by far the worst OS of them all, knowing that Ubuntu Touch is pretty much in alpha state (OTA12 included).
Android has many flaws, don't take me wrong, but at least it does feel intuitive and you can find what you want because it feels like it's always where it's supposed to be.

I say this because I don't think IR blasters are particularly practical on phones these days, in that there's only a few people who actually use them (like yourself).

Michael, I bought S7 with Exynos 8890 and man, that's really impressive piece of tech. 8 cores driven by fancy Linux scheduler, fast and always cool. I can use Gear VR for hours, on battery, without overheating. It can drive pretty amazing experiences like OpenMovieVR Cinema in 60 fps.
But there are some bad news too:
- there is no Vulkan support yet.
- Dolphin emulator does not like Samsung M1 cores.
