Geary or Mailspring are the best options. Neither is perfect. I lean toward Geary.

I agree with this. Add in also Apple TV options aren’t great. Swiftfin is just ok and Infuse is $

Pi Hole is the way.

Yes. Might as well buy new accessories at that point…

The Apps are just better. There are lots of great android apps but doesn’t compare with what’s available for iOS.

I want the bigger screen but I don’t care about extra camera stuff at all. Might consider 15 plus but want to see what cpu they put in the 15/15 plus.

Yep. Could consider Lubuntu too.
