Considering Switching Back to Android After Years on iPhone – A Few Questions

Hi everyone,

I'm a longtime OnePlus fan. Years ago, I left the brand after the 7T and switched to iPhone. I have to admit that, despite everything, I've never felt as comfortable as I did with Android on OnePlus: customization, smoothness, and above all, freedom.

Over the last few years I've used several phones, but for my work, iPhone has always solved quite a few problems for me. That said, I feel like Android has made huge progress, while iOS has gotten worse in several ways over the years.

However, there's one feature that's still keeping me in the Apple ecosystem, and I don't know if Android has reached the same level yet.

I have over 50k photos on my phone, archived from 2004 to today. I also write a lot, both on paper and in digital notes, so I've taken photos of and stored a huge number of notes in my gallery. What I love about iOS is that I can search for a word contained in one of those photos, and the system finds it instantly, even if it's an image taken many years ago. I first discovered this feature back on the iPhone 8, and it still works perfectly today, even offline.

I'm seriously considering buying the OnePlus 15, and I'd like to know if Android has reached this level. If you search for a word that's present in a very old photo, can the system find it even without an internet connection?

Another concern is passwords. After years of using only Mac and iPhone, all my passwords are automatically synced through Apple's Keychain. For every website, I've always generated random passwords directly through the system and never had to think about it.

How could I handle this situation if I switch to Android? Is there a secure way to keep everything synchronized with my Mac? Is there any official or particularly recommended solution? I know 1Password exists, but I'd prefer to avoid a subscription if possible.

Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their experience.
