Apple

iOS, how it works with my MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods, MagSafe, just the polish overall. I used an S23 Ultra and it was good, but I still preferred my iPhone 14 Pro and ultimately I ended up selling the S23 Ultra.

I like the camera best.

I own both an iPhone and an Android phone. However, I would always pick iPhone as my daily driver even if i dislike Apple's business practices.

1. Update support.

2. Apps seem better on iOS than their Android counterpart. Honestly, wouldn't be surprised if developers are prioritizing iOS first. Last time I worked on Android app dev, it's nothing but frustrating and constantly battling the tools. Or the need to rewrite something because Google decided that this API is "deprecated".

3. No bloatware. Too many Android phones have preinstalled apps that cannot be removed or disabled. The only way to get a clean experience is to use a custom ROM.

4. Universal compatibility. To give some examples. If you buy an Android from another country (Asia) and you bring it back to your home country (US). There's a chance that your phone may not support certain frequencies. On iPhone, this is a non-issue. Each variant sold in different regions will still work. It might be missing specific band or two used in the country but you'll still have wide coverage. Therefore, iPhone is the best choice as a travel phone.

   Another example. In Japan, if you want a digital version of the Suica card. It's best to use an iPhone. From what I researched, only Android phones sold in Japan have a specific NFC chip that is compatible with the IC readers over there.

5. I'm not sold on the idea of privacy on iOS but it's certainly better than having Google spying on you. This goes alongside with #3 as well.

I really enjoy the operating system. It’s easy to use, and it’s fluid.

They’re stable as fuck. I just went from an 11 to a 15 and I wasn’t all that impressed with my 15 bc the 11 was that good. The 15 is solid too don’t get me wrong. In the past, my androids were always gimmicky and filled with bloatware. None of that crap on the iPhone. Plus the apple ecosystem just works. Again, stable as fuck.

I prefer Android, but I can understand why people would like iPhones.

-Ecosystem: This cannot be understated, Apple has some of the most seamless integration on all their devices. Being able to make phone calls through your phone and watch as well as receiving texts through your watch and Mac is super cool.

-The functionality: All Apple devices not just phones work straight outta of the box with no major hardware or software issues, you'll never have to worry about any bloatware.

-The cameras: for the longest time iPhone cameras have always been in the upper echelon, rivaling some DSLRs. This feature makes people just buy it.

• Apple support: So long as your warranty is active like apple care, Apple will help you all the way in fixing your devices. Samsung and some other phones have crummy supports as the companies are global.

There are other reasons, but these just are some.

I was impressed when my colleague played music on his 12 pro so I got the 14 Pro Max and love it Plus everything works

I like the look of them. I much prefer the look of iPhones than any android phone.

I’m a Samsung fanboy. The way my iPhone interfaces with things such as AirPlay and then moving FaceTime and message convos between it and the iPad can’t be replicated along with iMessage.
