I use a Google Pixel 6 Pro which is great value for the price. It has a large screen and had the best implementation of the Google Voice Assistant as the phone uses built in AI processors to figure out your voice on the phone rather than sending it to a server to figure out.

For a magnifiets, I use a free App call WeZoom that's really well designed. I have it set to a backtap shortcut meaning I just need to tap the back of the phone twice to bring it up.

I can zoom anywhere on the screen with a single finger triple tap which I think works a lot better for a small screen that iOS' three finger tap.

I have Dark Mode on at all times, some more advanced swings I use are 'Override Dark Mode' (you need to ensure developer options are enabled first) which forces many apps into dark mode that don't normally have one. I also activated something similar in the Chrome browser that forces websites to render in dark mode.

And if those settings don't work, I can quickly bring up am accessibility shortcut menu to invert the screen completely.

You can also enlarge the text size. The Pixel launcher had a certain size cap, likely to prevent text from being cut off in appa (which can often happen when alleging system text) but, I'd that's an issues, you can always install an alternate launcher which may show more options.

Tire choice of virtual keyboards is also better than iOS as developers aren't as limited on the features they can implement.

Hope it helps. Sorry for waffling.

I love my Pixel 4, I have it set up exactly how I need it to be for my use, have not found any reason that would make me switch from Android.

1TB is insane, why would you need that?

I would suggest going with a Pixel as they are first party.

Why will you miss reddit? Reddit is available as an app for Android too.

"I don’t need a huge amount of memory, although one terabyte would be amazing,"
Hahaha what? What do you plan to store on that phone? Every disney movie ever released?
You can pick up a Fairphone with either 128 or 256 GB of memory. Should be enough to get you by, IMO. https://shop.fairphone.com/en/buy-fairphone-4
Then again, I am perhaps only saying this because I have gotten used to using an ancient phone with mere 8 GB. But I have never seen a phone with one TB of space yet (even Pixel 6 Pro has at most 512), so if you need that much, you will have to turn to MicroSD cards instead.

I unfortunately cannot offer any advice regarding Commentary Screen Reader (CSR), because I haven't used it yet despite meaning to for a long time now. All I can say is that others are really happy with it, so don't be like me and install it. You will need to download the APK from Github, however, as the app is not on Google Play. Hopefully navingating to the Downloads folder with your file manager of choice (I recommend total Commander) and running it shouldn't be too difficult.

Speaking of alternative ways of installing apps, I recommend you check out F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/

There are a lot of great accessible apps there. For example, NewPipe is much better for watching YouTube videos than the built-in app is, and has the option of audio mode so you consume less data and battery. RHVoice may not be the best-sounding TTS engine out there, but it is at least pretty responsive. Vanilla Music is a simple but lightweight and well-working media player. If you ever decide to use Mastodon, Tusky is so accessible it even integrates with Talkback's context menu. Feeel (yes, 3 e's) is the most accessible workout app I have found so far. And so on.

Another tip is to dig deep into the Accessibility Settings section to get the best experience, as some features can be weirdly hidden. This will depend on your Android version, but over here, the shortcut to suspend Talkback with volume up+down recently stopped working, but I was able to make it exist once more through enabling ... Easy Switch or some such? I would have to check. Anyhow, do not be afraid to just enable everything to see what it does!

I wish you the best of luck with the switch, If you ever have trouble with anything, do ask!

Personally, I would avoid Android myself. I bought a phone for testing anything that comes out on Android, but just could not get on with it at all having used Apple for so long and the control setup being just familiar enough that you'd think it'd work one way but it actually works completely differently. :(

Wishing you the best of luck on your journey regardless.

I’ve tried switching to android a few years ago. But it was not really a satisfying experience. A lot of apps, that I used on the iPhone, weren’t really that accessible with talkback. Also, typing felt kind of sluggish. But, as I said, that was a few years ago. Maybe things really have changed that much.
Out of curiosity. What do you guys use for navigation outside? I mean, there is neither blind Square nor soundscape for android, as far as I know. That was one of the main reasons for me to switch back to the iPhone. I tried a few solutions for android, but they all weren’t really that reliable.

Voiceover is better than talk back in almost every aspect. I’ll never go Android ever.

If you rely on Braille, don't do it. If you rely on VoiceOver recognition, maybe wait a while. If you can, try out an Android phone for a while before you buy one. If you can, feel around for some in stores. See what feels good in your hands. See what sounds good with your headphones. Look into specs and Bluetooth codecs and such if you plan to use headphones. Make sure they both have APTX or AAC or whatever. Oh and make sure the apps you use, banking especially, is on Android and is accessible on Android.

No i dont want Apple, i swtiched to Android back in the end of 2018 and i dont regreat it.
I now have the freddom to choose much wider then with Apple, i can use thirdparty stuff like headset from other producents then Apple only... and i can use my own backup solutions, Apple dosent come after me and trying to lock me in their closet.
Dont go too cheap, i have an Samsung Xcover 4s and this is not storng enogh, but some Nokia or OnePlus i would recommend.. I just hate the big screens...
