    I literally don’t care for the “android had x features n years ago, therefore android is better” argument

    It’s not just about features. It’s literally the ENTIRE experience that’s better.

    iOS is significantly more user friendly than android. It just FEELS better.

    I personally find android to be clunky and jagged. I’m a developer I do software and I’ve developed for both android and iOS. Android is nicer with app deployment and side loading (though that is changing). iPhone is more restrictive. But for me in terms of every day use. I’m choosing the iPhone.

      Hate to overuse the word “ecosystem” but that’s the silver bullet for me. I used to be an Android user, but bought the kids iPads years ago. I bought one for myself during lockdown when I decided I’d like to learn to draw digitally, then over the years bought an iPhone, then AirPods, then an Apple Watch, iPhones for the kids, an Apple TV, subscribed to Apple One etc.

      It’s expensive, sure, but everything is just so seamlessly and flawlessly integrated. One device on its own could arguably be better or worse than a competitor’s, but all together it’s not even a contest.
