Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone? (lemmy.world)

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?

Because ive been sucked into the Apple universe (except my laptop. I just can’t).

Plus, and honestly more importantly, you take it out of the box and it just works.

Oh, and I can’t stand/understand googles UI no matter how hard I try. It’s just not I that I’ve to me.

    I've never taken an android out of the box and it not work. Not sure what that statement even means.

    I also never had an android not work out of the box, the setup feels the same as apple complexity wise

    As a long time android user I was kind of impressed by the setup process on newer android phones. Easily migrates your data over and sets everything up for you to your liking. Feels very polished.

    Well, I buy xiaomi phones and ... well, need to root and flash roms. That is only me though, I am sure there are many users that are okay with OEM phone systems.

    Heh, I get your issue with xiaomi. I feel like it's just what you get when buying a chinese phone. MIUI is the absolute worst android ui you can get in terms of advertising, I mean come one who tf advertises IN SYSTEM APPS. But they're aprettx good platform for custom ROMs and rooting

    Oh man the MacBook is the shit, I switched to mac years ago, windows laptops just suckkkkkkk. The touchpad alone is enough for me to never have a windows laptop again. Can dual boot it to windows too to cover all bases. My MacBook is over 10 years old and still running the latest OS smoothly and feels like it's up to todays standards still for what I use it for.

    (except my laptop. I just can’t).

    That's kinda funny because that's probably their product category that I find the most compelling. Watches and earbuds I don't care about, phones can really go either way, but since they switched to the M chips the power and efficiency are just so good the Windows laptop just look a lot worse in comparison to me.

    I admittedly haven’t looked at the MacBooks since I bought my surface, but size and storage/processing were a large part of my decision. Plus I struggle with some of the Mac gestures. I honestly can’t get past the lack of right click, HOWEVER windows is doing some seriously annoying dumb shit lately, so I’ll look at the MacBook again, when my surface dies.

    Every other computer I interact with is on windows. All the software we have is windows (I’m not sure how subscription services work for switching OS).

    All I’m saying is it’ll take some doing to switch over, and they hadn’t been worth it to me in past researching. Just like I’d struggle to switch from the Apple phone/watch/AirPod situation.
