I understand that some may view it as a status symbol, but in my opinion, iPhones are more practical than they may seem.
For me, the cost and specs of an Android device would need to be significantly better for me to consider switching from an iPhone. Additionally, iPhones tend to have a better resale value, which is a factor to consider.
While I won't argue about the user-friendliness of Android versus iOS, personally I prefer to stick with iOS due to my familiarity with it and the lack of added benefits that switching to Android would bring.
In my line of work in the creative/visual industry, I find that using a Macbook Pro is more beneficial not just because of its specs, but also because of the widespread use of Macs in my industry. It helps streamline my workflow and ensures compatibility with others.
When it comes to purchasing a device, I prefer to have a seamless experience without needing to worry about updating drivers or adjusting settings. The ease of use and reliability of a Mac is important to me in order to focus on my work without unnecessary technical issues.
I don't have time or energy to get into a debate, but as someone also I the creative industry, your points are just fallicy. You may have your preference to use a Mac, but justifying them with your perception of "it's just better because I don't need to think about anything" is just wrong.
