> I wonder how many years it will take before I can convince some people that I actually just prefer Apple's phones to competing phones and that I'm not actually brainwashed or forced by Apple to never leave.

It will never happen. Those people are just not mentally able to understand that other people have different needs, wants, values, and opinions than them.

It’s because you are brainwashed.

More seriously it’s actually a meme or a trope that I noticed.

Right this very moment I have an iPhone 11 and a Pixel 5 in my pocket, both running fully up to date OS versions.

I keep two phones because of personal reasons not relevant to this discussion.

I prefer the iPhone.

Now you do sound a bit défensive :)

I write that on my trusted 2016 SE from Apple and that the finest piece of phone I own. And one of the only I personally owned.

The durability alone is nice.

My send me a succession of phone for various raison. It’s rare that any catch my fancy.

First they are large and two :Android is subpar in my eyes. Saving grace : It is vastly more convenient to shove things in it.
