    As someone who used to make apps, but run Android myself, here are the things I usually hear

    • App quality tends to be worse on Android
    • I have a MacBook, airpods, and Apple watch
    • I don’t know if a good Android phone that has the same camera quality and longevity as an iPhone

    The subtle reason is also status. People feel rich/different with an iPhone

      I considered the jump to iPhone and did some testing on one of my kids iPhones. The common apps were essentially identical to my android, but the weird thing is free apps on iPhone all seem to just captive webpages or some other crap quality thing. You have to pay for good apps on iPhone. On android the free stuff is consistently better. Just my experience.

      • I have had a lot of bad experiences with paid iOS apps, very little with free apps on Android - and even if so, there are dozens of FOSS alternatives
      • Even worse
      • Depends on which phone you choose; my 200€ Moto does have a pretty bad camera, but pretty good specs overall
