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)

    -Wanted to try iOS after years of android.

    -my parent both had iPhones and don’t use any message app other than imessage, so the ecosystem helped.

    -ecosystem: we already had an iPad, a Mac and an iMac

    -great cameras on budget phone

    -budget iPhone intrigued me (still using my 2020 SE)

    -many popular friends had iPhones

    -felt premium

    -HUGE performance (what made me even consider iPhones in the first place)

    -HUGE software support (2nd biggest reason) meant I would comfortably keep my phone for 5+ years

    -smoothness: always heard that iPhones are just smooth interested me

    -app availability: most apps come before on iOS and are better optimized

    -chip efficiency meant I didn’t even look at the battery size

    These are just some things I considered when choosing between android and iOS. The android decide at the time had a higher refresh rate, OLED screen, huge battery and 3 cameras but yet I choose the iPhone.

    To this day I’m still thinking about the android experience but seeing Samsung’s phones lately, I’m pretty sure I made the right decision.
