Got bored of using Android for so many years. I still switch between iPhone and Samsung and currently I’m using the S23 Ultra, but I might switch back to iPhone because it has USB-C now.

Well, it sure isn’t for Siri!

I have an iPhone 13 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S23 (not the Ultra model). I switch between them almost weekly. Both have their plusses and minuses. For me, the iPhone takes better, more natural looking pictures and records video without the first half second jitter the S23 often suffers from.

I prefer Apple Maps’ visuals and voice over Google Maps, but Google Maps has more accurate directions and tons more reviews and user photos (since Apple continues to rely on Yelp!). Apple tends to stick with an idea or an application for the long term, perfecting it along the way. Google branches out in all directions and sometimes loses sight of what its customers want. Choosing an iPhone means you get continued support and predictability for several years. Choosing an Android phone means you get bleeding edge tech, apps and experiences that may or may not be available in the future.

Never lags Never disappoints Fast But shit battery iPhone 13 user btw

It all started for me with the iPod touch when I was in middle/high school. I was absolutely in love with that thing. My parents would not allow me to have a smartphone so that was the next best thing that I could have.

When iOS 5 came out and iMessage and FaceTime were a thing, I thought it was so cool that I could text and call my friends on my iPod!

A bit later when I got a job, my first smartphone was a Windows phone. While I did enjoy it, I eventually ended up missing the UI of iOS. Every phone after that was an iPhone and I haven’t looked back since. I am fully invested in the ecosystem and it’s been nothing short of great.

Tl;dr - it started with my love for the iPod touch.

It came to me in a dream.

Got tired of waiting for Google to give it all out on their latest Pixel 8. so i dropped them like a hot potato and switched to iPhone. No regrets. Owned Pixel 2XL to Pixel 7. I say, bye bye Pixel!

I’ve found iPhones last longer with good performance than android phones that I’ve used. All my Android phones have deteriorated in performance in 1 year.

Battery is a concern in iPhones that I’ve had. But the performance and longer lasting quality has been compensating for that. Apart from stock android phones all other phones have lot of bloatware.

But the most important reason is android had become monstrous in size. I hate those huge phones. The only small phone with unbeatable performance was iPhone SE. I felt it was launched only for me to buy 🤣 But I waited until I got it for 16K rupees. Then I got Se2 and got SE3 2 months ago.

Because my parents buy me them. I actually wanted a pixel but my mom forbade me. My reason is I would like to code an android app but you can’t test your android app on an iPhone.

I pick it because I hate android. It’s horrendous.

I tried all famous phone OS like starting with Symbian Microsoft Android So now iOS.

So I started down this road back in 2009. Imo android phones really sucked in 2009. The iPhone 3GS was pretty wow. I had previously used a Treo, BlackBerry, Nokia n80, various PDAs, and te iPhone seemed the most polished. Mind you I thought the first iPhone sucked royally especially bc if the lack of real gps, no flash, AT&T asshats made Apple disable MMS because there were afraid it would break their network lol, anyways…

I was already somewhat in the Apple ecosystem with ipods. I had owned iPods for several years at this point and it was also a plus that I could just connect this new device that would have all my music and playlists as I set them up and I didn’t have to carry a separate phone or use a different music management app. I stayed with iPhone because I got more entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. Most of my social circle use iPhones which makes messaging easier, although I have friends and relatives in mh country of origin so I still use WhatsApp a lot.

Perhaps more than you wanted in an answer? 🤷

My dad gifted them. Why I keep it? Clout, nothing else. Also I can’t really say I don’t like it when it’s such an expensive gift.

Other reasons I thought I’d keep it for: battery - people said it has ridiculous battery but it honestly doesn’t, barely lasts a day for me. I’d much rather have ridiculously fast charging. Performance - again, I’ve noticed frame drops and it does heat up, so it’s not as good as it’s hyped to be.

So the software is built for iPhone so it fit perfectly to iPhone devices

Also for some reason I feel using this iPhone is so smooth, faster, and simpler than other devices

The processor is great

Finally, in my country Google Pay system isn’t working but ApplePay is working that what i assume it as benefit

Also i used Android devices its so cool especially Samsung phones all of them are great i using them also

Because I don’t have enough money to buy android phone yet

Nothing beats the UI and the simplicity of iPhone. I have Z flip as well and I really really hate it. Even the font is wrong.

I used to love android back in the day (HTC days).
