It really is. I once dated a girl that would rip on me for having a Samsung. She said she needed an iPhone for work cause she takes a lot of pics and uses socials a lot. She couldn't fathom that my Samsung could do all of that and arguably more

    She takes a lot of pictures...so she needed a worse camera?

    Whoa, I dislike iPhones for plenty of reasons, but the cameras are consistently among the best. Maybe not spec wise, and you can complain about post processing all you want. But to an average user that's just clicking the shutter they turn out great.

    Oh they're by no means bad cameras, it's just that in my experience Samsung cameras tend to be the best, as far as phones go. My wife has a fancy DSLR that just collects dust because her phone camera blows it out of the water (meanwhile there's me with my Motorola that I quite like, but the camera is a potato)

    Not sure if it’s changed by now but a lot of the social apps for Android would just take a screen grab when taking a picture, so when uploading from Android the pics looked much worse than iPhone.

    Apple vs Samsung aside, she wasn't concerned with using her own phone for work?

    Why would this concern anyone?

    If you have to just open a website related to work, it's fine, but in some instances, in order to access work resources, the phone has to be managed by the company, so this creates an obvious concern about private data. I guess "taking pictures and using social media" from the example here doesn't fall under that category, but that doesn't mean it's the same for other cases.

    Even if it's not that complicated, it might be just about separating work from private life. If I have to use a phone for work, I'd personally much prefer it to be a separate device that I can turn off and put in a drawer when I don't need it.
