IMO it’s all a matter of perspective. I typically keep a phone for around two years. Ignoring for a second that iPhones are typically more future proof than Android phones, the $200 difference between mid-tier Android and iPhone SE is $8.33 a month.

Is the iPhone a superior experience? IMO, yes. Do I need it? No. But do I use my phone enough that $8 a month is worth it for the improvement? Absolutely.

Sure, I agree, I use an iPhone myself.

But I do agree because I'm very tied to the ecosystem, I use lots of Apple products, the whole experience is worth it.

For your usual non-tech professional using your typical five free social media apps, taking a couple pics for Instagram and doing a few calls? I don't think it's worth the extra $8. Better get coffee.
