Do people not realize every brand has a phone just as expensive as the iPhone? This has gotta be the dumbest thing.

The worst of the arguments is "iOS is easier to use"

Hell no it isn't.

Not to mention that Apple itself has been in a freefall over the past year. None of their products met sales estimates. The new MacBook Air is a perfect microcosm of how misguided Apple has been lately - Apple itself can't even explain what the difference is between the Air and the MacBook. They literally have two super thin, $1000ish Ultrabooks.

The iPhone XR was supposed to kick off a sales rush, but instead wound up being dead in the water.

They've lost all sense of market direction. They're acting like a 2014 tech company in 2019.

it's a status symbol

your retort about 'everyone has it blah blah' was nonsense. tons of people owns homes. home ownership is still a status symbol. tons of people own cars. having a car is a status symbol.

Most users who want android for the customization dont even customize their phone in ways they cant with an iPhone.

iOS is basically superior in every way to android, and on a hardware level there are only like three android phones that can compare to an iPhone (which ironically all cost more despite the iPhone being the status symbol lmao)

Same.

The first time I ever picked up an iPhone, I immediately felt like I knew how to use it. Whenever I've tried using other phones for the first time, it just never felt anywhere near as natural to me.

To be fair though, I really haven't tried out any other phones recently. At the same time though, I really just don't give a damn, nor do I care what phone someone else is using.

Yeah, such customization features as not having a giant cluster f of apps on your home screen.

Or being able to align your apps on the bottom of the phone, where you can actually reach them on a giant phone.

yeah, no you clearly have a different definition from me of the term "status symbol" if you think it refers to "necessities" which neither home ownership nor owning a car qualify as, by the way sine we're being pedantic.

On a global level, Apple only has 11.8% of the market.

Us Android users own the rest.

And Apple MarketShare is shrinking globally, not increasing.

Gotta love how Beanz and friendz have mini orgasms over their phone performance

Then when the latest iPhone absolutely spanks in that year they go "uhh well who actually uses that much power anyway you know"

I think my iPhone X from last year is still faster than the Note 9 released this year lol
