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)

I used to work in telecoms and was selling the first iPhone on day 1. Had always been an Apple fan but I held off until the 3GS as I found it insane it launched (especially in the UK) without 3G.

The return rate with Android devices compared to iPhone was immense. I’ve spent plenty of time using all sorts of other devices but the iPhone always came out on top - camera, integration (iTunes through to handover), performance, security.

Admittedly I’m bored of how iOS looks and feels, and wouldn’t mind trying an Android again but I find it hard to believe it would be as good or better for the money, especially now that the top Android devices are in the same spectrum as the latest iPhone. I’m also heavily invested in the ecosystem (Mac, iPad, watch, pods).
