Because I’m forced to and do not have the patience to transfer what I have in iCloud and AppStore to anything but Crapple. And my son now has Apple ID with an iPad I need to have family share to manage his use and he loved Minecraft. I can’t jump ship.

Waiting for Google to un-f*ck their Pixels. Tensor and those crap under-the-screen fingerprint scanners are deal breakers.

I want the best phone out there and the Exynos variant of the Samsung isn’t it.

Got tired of getting kicked out of family group texts for being the green bubble. ;)

Lack of quality competition. I’ve owned all the phones, used all the OS’s. Especially with Android, the hardware quality control is all over the place. Samsung phones, Google phones, all of the ones I owned had major quality issues with that were deal breakers. I’m also at a place where I want less customization and tinkering. Also, Android not knowing what to do with a tablet pushed me to iPads a while back.

I got my first one in 2008 when there weren’t any comparable devices. It does what I need so I’ve never had a reason to get something different.

iOS + best phone in terms of build quality + best customer support + best handoff (MacBook, iMac, iPhone)

It’s slightly less shitty than an android

My Dad bought me an iPad and I bought apps. I’ve been stuck in the iOS ecosystem since. I don’t love or hate iOS. I just don’t want to lose access to apps that I’ve already paid for and having devices in the same ecosystem just makes syncing easier and cheaper.

I’ve had several models of both Android and iPhone over the years. I just like iPhone better. The ecosystem just works well. Apps are relatively consistent and reliable. The UI is smooth. And my iPhones have consistently held up longer over the years. My current phone is almost 5 years old and it works as well as the day I bought it. Every Android I’ve had is left behind after just a couple years. They would get bogged down with junk files and constant crashes.

I mostly use it for iMessage and iPhones get better trade in values than Pixels.

Son gave me one years ago, and now I’m in.

I switched from Android to iOS a while ago because i bought myself my first Apple Product for a while; AirPods. I was missing the integration in iOS so i gave the base iPhone 11 (in purple) a shot. Instantly i remembered my good time with my last iPhone, the 4s. After that, i bought myself an iPad Air 5 + Pen. iPhone + iPad worked perfectly so i kept buying myself Apple Products. Next in Line was a MacBook (MacBook Air m2), my old Laptop was dying so i gave the Mac a chance. iPhone, iPad + MacBook works even better. Sidecar and Universal Control are awesome. After that, I bought an AppleTV 4K and my old SmartTV had a second live. After I dropped my iPhone 11 in water, the FaceID stopped working, so I waited for the iPhone 15 release and preordered the 15 Pro and I love it! + I ordered the new AirPods Pro 2nd Gen USB-C. I just love the ecosystem and the integration…

It’s a good phone and more convenient for me compared to Android.

I had an Android in the past, they pissed me off and Windows/BB were on their way out so there are no other real options.

That and while Apple does have its annoying quirks at times they do make a quality product.
