It’s a preference .
You are either android or IOS or windows phone.
Before the big 2. I started with blackberry and playbook . But they were not compatible with anything else. No 3rd party software. So I dropped BB.
Went with iPhone it’s slick , easy to use, security features and has a good resale value .
I tried Android and it’s too loose - anyone can access and toil with OS and manipulate it. Basically Open source.
I like IOS because unless you jailbreak it which voids your warranty , it’s open to restricted 3rd party apps. Has Ms docs which I use for work and the interface is something I am familiar with. The camera isn’t as great as Android but I’ve never bought a phone because of the great pics it can take. It also pairs flawlessly with my IPhone watch .
And iPad. Also never heard it being hacked! The government and google are like 1&2.
I use an IPhone 13 Pro /max and won’t upgrade to 15 for another year or so. I don’t need a new phone every year.
I hate not having a home button though .

I disagree with some of your points. Nothing like Android is too loose it's an open source for a reason so before anyone or apps can toil with your android you gave them the privilege.

Same with 3rd party apps you have to activate unknown source to be able to install them else you can only get apps from Google play store.

In terms of hacking there are news online with buggy iOS being hacked just like jailbreaking it's an act of bypassed system securities.

Android are now advanced, on my oppo phone there are some certain apps the phone won't run because it has the ability to bypass system securities.

Both iOS and Android are the same in my own perspective.

My only problem is the people shouting iphone up and down and I believe 90% of them don't know there are more the phone can offer than what they see. They made me believe you can send movies and play with external player or even music. I started using iphone recently and I discovered a lot people don't know about it. Yes you can send movies and songs with Xender and play then just like your android phone but many don't know that.

I'm not saying you are wrong bro

Apart from camera, what else is special about iphone?

Why do people spend so much on it?

They have managed to command a strong brand perception and general acceptance.

There is nothing special about iPhone. There’s nothing at all

When you buy a new iPhone ( not UK used ) you can use it for 10 years without a fix. No other phone company can last that long.

You can buy iTunes card cheaply to put on your iPhone and make international payments instad of having to use debit card for payment. E.g Courser, AliExpress and so on.

Easy to fix and cheap. You dare not try to fix Samsung phones screen from Samsung galaxy s8 and earlier without having to pay 100k and above. With just 20k, you can fix your iPhone screen.

A person like me who like portable phones, only iPhone still makes one. I'm using iPhone 13 mini right now. Very portable, I so much love the size ( I hope Iphone continue to make it because with the way thing is, I'm surely not gonna buy iPhone 14 and 15 because the screen is too big for me. )

Strong 5G that supports any type of 5G ( if you're using Samsung midrange phones, you can't pick all type of 5G, only with Samsung flagship )

Inconclusion, you don't have to buy expensive iPhone, just buy any iPhone and you will enjoy all the benefits ( I'm using iPhone 13 mini, if you wanna enjoy same thing and you don't have 400k, you can buy a iPhone SE 2022 it's 230k NEW AND SEALED DIRECT FROM THE COMPANY)

When a poor man ask questions you will know

Iphones are a basically overrated. Not special at all

Poor man

validplanet:


Wow!

This means the company has hypnotized consumers into believing that they need iphone.

From the way people stay on the queue to buy new release.

The company is one of the richest in the world, so is Louis Vuitton.

Is it that easy to hypnotize people to pay so much for less value?

Do you mind those poor idiot

Some reasons:

1. Good build quality: You can feel the quality just by holding an iPhone in your hand.
2. Second hand value: For whatever reason, iPhones tend to hold value more than competing brands.
3. iOS: This is debatable but IOS in my opinion is much smoother and more efficient than android. The user interface and experience is very good and is standardized.
There are fewer phones to support so it’s easier for app developers to make their iOS versions as excellent as possible.
4. Longevity: apple continues to release iOS updates for its older iPhones for a good number of years (5 to 6). Androids I had in the past released updates for a year or two and stopped.
This is very important for security as vulnerabilities are patched frequently. It’s no surprise that you find android phones infected with malware that pops up unsolicited adverts without recourse for the user.
5. Cameras: nothing to say here, cameras are decent.
6. Apple ecosystem: A major part of why Apple is successful is how well their various devices play together. Some examples: you can use your iPhone as a webcam on your Mac seamlessly, you can use your iPad as a second screen for your Mac, you can easily and automatically switch your AirPods between all your Apple devices (Mac, iPhone , Apple TV etc).
7. Security: if your phone is stolen/misplaced, you’re almost guaranteed that your data is safe (say you have nudes on the phone). Most of the time the phone can only be sold for parts as it’s difficult or impossible to break iCloud lock.
Even now, it seems the phone is completely useless as Apple has started to digitally sign parts and their permission is required before they can be used as spare parts in other devices.

These are my personal reasons. It’s easy to stay back and think yourself so smart for not using one but my advice is to first use an iPhone before forming an opinion. Same with macs and other Apple devices.

1. Other badass Android flagship has premium build quality
2. You are right for this.
3. You are correct.
4. If you use Google devices (pixel) then you will get tired of system updates and upgrade. Using pure android skin is far better than those ones loaded with stupid apps and if you can handle your android there is nothing like pop up ads
6. That's because they are made by one company bro, latest Samsung tabs has a feature that make it works flawlessly with windows OS
7. Other android OEM has security features like the icloud that you have to activate, even Google find my phone can erased your data when stolen

All flagship Android phones are as expensive as iPhones. The reason why many focus on iPhones is that Apple doesn’t produce mid-range or low-range iPhones, unlike Samsung, Xiaomi, and others. For example, the Samsung S23 Ultra is slightly more expensive than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Samsung, Google Pixel, LG, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Sony, and others have flagship phones that are often as expensive as iPhones, and sometimes even more so.

Within 6 months their value will drop drastically but iPhone till next two years it's still expensive

So my niece that they stole her iPhone in France a month later track it being used in China.how about that.

Hello, I'm using Samsung galaxy S21 5G and I bought the iphone about 8 month ago, so I'm using both Android and iOS. most people buy used iPhone think they bought new one. I'm talking about Sealed ones. How much did he bought iPhone 11? He will tell you 180k Sebi? Thats a refurbish phone not new.

The craze about Apple devices can most likely be backed by the superior ADVERTISING prowess of Apple.

Beauty and class is subject to what us obtainable in a particular society. The more you see something (advertisement) the more your brain subconsciously registers that thing which you saw.

For instance, everytime I open my browser, I see an advert from Viva. Normally I don't use Viva for laundry, but since I began to see their advert more that 25 times a day, I automatically started buying only Viva detergent anytime I want to do laundry.

In essence, advertisement programs our mind and Apple is extremely good with advertisement.

To further explain this, the specifically channeled their advert to the women folk. Nowadays, women do more advert for IPhone devices than the manufacturer Apple themselves.

Shalom.

You can't buy a new iPhone and have any issue with the battery. The capacity is not very much compare to Android phones but you will not have any reason to replace it. Refurbish was sold to him ok.
