Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    Not sure why this is downvoted so much. These are very valid points.

      Well the claim that Android doesn’t receive security updates is plainly false.

        I don’t see how that point is relevant as that claim was never made.

        The claim was that Android phones usually barely get updates which maps to my experience. Updates more than one or two years after the release of a device is the exception, not the norm.

            I am not sure which second paragraph you’re referencing as your original comment only contains one.

              Ah sorry, still getting used to this UI, thought that was in reply to a different level comment.

              Updates more than one or two years after the release of a device is the exception, not the norm.

              Through the AOSP, many android phones are maintained indefinitely by the community. But I agree that proprietary firmware blobs don’t get maintained for nearly as long as they should.

                Custom ROMs are a thing of course. I use them too. Custom ROMs are, again, the exception rather than the norm however; most people use the stock ROMs and that’s what I was referencing.

      Well for one thing Apple rather famously slows down its old phones and lost a lawsuit over it. Apple has plenty of merits but longevity is definitely not one of them.
