Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    I use an iPhone 12 because:

    • longevity. Between software updates and an over powered phone cpu I know it will last. Android phones in general barely get security updates.

    • Simplicity. I used to root and install ROMs on my android phone. I used to jailbreak iPhones. I’m done with that now. I do enough technical work at work I don’t want to have to mess with my phone.

    • Security. Ties into updates somewhat, but how often do you hear about iOS malware? It is usually big news when you do.

      Not sure why this is downvoted so much. These are very valid points.

        Well for one thing Apple rather famously slows down its old phones and lost a lawsuit over it. Apple has plenty of merits but longevity is definitely not one of them.
