I am a sucker for music and i listen to it all the time, and i am very impressed by the Sound quality of speakers on my Iphone 13. They sound like a mini sound bar. I can hear the low end very well and it gives a great output. I also admire the display and consistency in UI. Apart from this, the audio recording quality is also amazing. You can record a song on your iphone and the Quality of vocals is better than my USB condenser mic worth 4k INR. What do you like about Iphones.

UX consistency across apps is important. It removes one more layer of pointless abstraction. Almost everything behaves the same.

Third party support. Apps and games are generally prioritised for iPhones. Physical accessories are very easy to find, often remarkably cheap, and offer a lot of variety in functionality. This market just doesn’t exist for Androids.

MagSafe. It’s boring, invisible, and so seamless. Probably my favourite iPhone feature. I think I’ve plugged this current phone in twice since I’ve owned it.

The social clout people don’t like to talk about. iPhones are absolutely a status symbol in the same way cars are.

Stickers in iOS17. I love making stickers from all my pet photos, or pasting photos of my friends into scenes from movies or historical settings.

I also love how iPhones almost look like jewellery today. They are sickeningly pretty objects.

Customer service is just good. AppleCare+ should just be the default option when buying a new phone.
