I’m curious - why do you pick iPhone compared to other smartphone brands? (Google Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, etc.)

(I’m also going to be asking in other phone subs, hope this survey goes well)

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? 🤷
