Apple

I have both the iPhone 15 Pro & Z Fold 5. The iPhone is a better built device than any Galaxy I’ve had. It feels more solid and luxurious than other devices. The screen is far more resistant to scratches than my Fold’s outer display, and judging by the experience of friends and colleagues, it’s not much better on the 23 Ultra or Pixel 8 Pro. The software is a major driver, too. Apple’s draconian control over the App Store has its benefits. Most apps (including a Samsung proprietary sales training tool) run better on iOS than their Android counterparts. The Apple ecosystem is also pretty slick. Most things “just work” when you have a compliment of other Apple wares. My iTunes library has easily carried forward over two decades, including the migration from iTunes Match to Apple Music & iCloud. AirTags are extremely useful and due to the iPhone’s market saturation, work very well. The Apple Watch is firmly superior to the Google & Galaxy alternatives. Oh, and blue chat bubbles.
