“OMG, I have an iPhone!” Yeah, you have an iPhone, so what? You’re the best? You can FaceTime your friends, despite you and your friends probably having, like, 7 other apps to do so? And no UI customizability or jailbreaking?

I’m just unable to understand the Apple/iOS hype. It makes my eyes roll. I’m content with my Samsung and Android, thanks.

I’ve had a variety of Android and Apple phones over the last decade+. Apple always works and lasts more than a year or two without developing issues (hardware or software). Android has always given issues (hardware and software), often within the first year. I’ll continue to go with Apple until they give me a reason not to.

I've never had a problem with Android but I've always used Samsung. My dad gets the cheapest phones he can find in the shop though and funnily enough they don't always work out for the best.

I've had a go on my mum's iPhone a few times. Pretty much the same as Android - it's a smartphone - but it is nice.
