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?

Consistency.

Tried a Samsung galaxy. It was just full of ads and notifications and pop-ups and a million icons across the top of the screen that had to be disabled in five still screens down in the settings. If felt like what a smart phone would be in Idiocracy - just full on corporate owned and driven experience. iPhone sucks cause they are so locked down but it also doesn’t feel like a nonstop advertising platform.

I switched from Android to iPhone mainly for the iMessage capabilities. I didn’t have any other reason at the time, but now I’ve started adding in to the ecosystem (AirPods, and now an iPad). The integration is really nice and smooth. I do like how “user-friendly” it is - while I can use other platforms just fine, iOS is just simple and easy.

The Apps are just better. There are lots of great android apps but doesn’t compare with what’s available for iOS.
