Hey guys, I've been on a crappy Moto G android (with Republic Wireless as carrier) and I'm thinking of upgrading to an iPhone SE, since Best Buy is having a sale on refurbs ($330 for a 64 GB SE).
I want a smaller phone since I like to go jogging with it in my pocket and don't ever use the screen for watching movies or TV shows; my phone is mostly a device for podcasts, music, and various messaging apps (discord, slack, skype, etc). I'm mainly looking to upgrade from my poverty-tier phone for QoL reasons like 5GHz wireless support and the old phone just being slow/sluggish when loading web pages.
I'd have to switch carriers to T-Mobile, which I believe offers a $30/month plan with data, which is a tad more expensive than my current $25 plan with Republc Wireless.
Is there any reason for me not to do this? As I understand it I can still have services like Google Play Music and and Pocket Casts on iOS, meaning I can carry over all my old subscriptions/feeds without a lot of hassle. is there an android-based alternative that's significantly cheaper or offers significantly better quality phone for the same price?
Moto g 4th gen?
Haha, Google's apps are actually better on iOS then they are on Android, most of the time
If you're in the Google ecosystem go for it

Moto G 3rd gen, actually. I think I got it for like $120, it was the cheapest thing that supported Republic Wireless at the time.

Ah, one thing I forgot to ask about, actually, does iOS support google maps? I recall hearing some kerfuffle about Apple's map app being bad.
Having my phone as a GPS while driving is another of the few things I do with it.
I know nothing about cameras and such, but I presume it will be an upgrade in that department as well.

That's an oxymoron.
