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)

I use AN iPhone because of the predictability.

I know exactly what I’m getting every time I get a new one, I know exactly how long it’s going to last and what it’s going to support and be supported by. I personally love the UI (I think that might be a controversial opinion).

When you get the top line product you don’t have to worry about upgrading for 4+ years so it’s not really that big of a cost in the long run considering how much I use mine.

I have 12+ hours of screen time a lot of days so between my familiarity, the computing power, the UI I like, and the sheer consistency of the phone and its relationship with apps and other devices… I never think twice about whether my phone is capable of what I need it to do.

I practically never use my computer unless I need to do anything like upload something for longer than I can afford to have my phone screen occupied.

Come to think of it, I should just go ahead and get an iPad too and call it a day.
