I’m curious - why do you pick iPhone compared to other smartphone brands? (Google Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, etc.)
(I’m also going to be asking in other phone subs, hope this survey goes well)

Got bored of using Android for so many years. I still switch between iPhone and Samsung and currently I’m using the S23 Ultra, but I might switch back to iPhone because it has USB-C now.
Microsoft decided to kill Windows Phone.
I got married and had kids and have no time to fuck around with a phone. iPhones work and that’s all i care about - and I was a hardcore Android geek, flashed all my androids right out of the box! Never had a pixel though.
Ecosystem is great.
Design is very nice, looks very elegant and well made.
OS is way better than any other phones in the market, again looks very modern and nice design and also the way the apps are etc, makes it very organized.
Usually lasts long when taken care of.
Just because i got a macbook and airpods and apple tv and ipad
Bought the first one and changed once, regretted it quickly and got back
I use several different devices. An iPhone is just one ☝️. It’s not my main device either.
Why not?
Things done right
I like the device integration and the walled garden.
Got good promotions from my carrier and then been getting free upgrades (except tax) every year so why not.
I use both the 15 pro and the Galaxy S23U. Prefer samsung as it has more customizable UI and various multitasking features. I can make my phone look and behave the way it’s most comfortable for me to use. It’s basically a computer in my hand.
iPhone is my work phone and would only recommend to someone who wants a basic phone which does all that a generic smartphone should do (and apple is very good at doing these things) and is not too techy. iPhones UI is smooth, has good battery backup, has great camera and everything that an average joe would need. All these are also true with any android nowadays but an average user won’t use all the features anyways and might confuse some non techy people.
I need a working, synchronized, ecosystem that is safe, reliable and that does not steal my data (harvest). As long as Apple can provide that I will not even look at other solutions
Because OnePlus failed its customer promise and directed away from what it originally was. It is what you get trying to appeal to the masses and losing your identity along the way. So I decided to change the manufacturer after 7 years on OnePlus. 7 pro was my last device and it was good. Peak OnePlus right there
Nothing but bad experiences with Samsung devices, so I don’t want to buy one.
Pixel has hardware issues and subpar specs, also not officially available or supported in my country.
Decided to give a try to iPhone after years on windows phone and nearly a decade on Android.
