as an SRE I have a strong preference for iPhones

- I don't want to think about my phone, what software it runs, rooting it, modifying it

- I don't want to think about my phones reliability

- I don't want to think about getting it repaired literally anywhere in the world (I have had countless perfect experiences with the Apple store)

- I don't want to think about it being secure, if its stolen yadda yadda

- Having support for a work profile is irrelevant because I like to use two phones to keep everything separate

Apple are pretty bad repair wise in the country I live. I've had to take macs in to get repairs many times and it's an exercise in frustration. There is no Apple store in NZ, they're slow, they won't ship things.

I bought a Dell laptop, there was a problem with the trackpad. The Dell technician came to my house and fixed it on my dining room table.
