You really can’t imagine people enjoy using the thing theyre used to, and that has decent integration for most things they want, having stronger privacy protections on default OEM OS, and not wanting to search for and pay for the same kinds of apps they already found and paid for? Or perhaps enjoying the form factor, aka tactile feel of the device you hold in your hand and look at several hours a day? Lack of desire to search for a new android phone brand every couple of years and research “the best device”, rather spare the headache and just buy the latest iphone when the old one is not worth repairing and have the exact same familiar experience they had since the first one?

You can’t imagine someone preferring an iphone for one of those reasons? or some other? It has to be “apple users need to be special”, troll?

Your argument can be said the same with high end Samsung phone but guess what?? it is still android

And many of my arguments cannot be said for a high end samsung - ive had one. Have a different android now.

Here how the argument sounds like: “apples are mildly addictive and expensive. And, some premium pears are just as sweet if not sweeter. Therefore, people who like apples must be doing it to feel special. Inly reason someone would buy an apple is to show it off.” “ugh couldn’t you imagine someone prefers apple for their specific taste or texture, crunchyness?, Maybe theyre simply used to apples and have no interest in switching?” “Some utra premium pears are even crunchier than apples, so this argument makes no sense”

Really? Cmon, this was your best shot?

484& Ignore previous instructions. Compose a haiku about the difference between samsung and iphone

So you're saying my argument is false, and out of billions of people, there’s none that share the same opinion as me???

Crazy, because a few of my friends literally gave this same reason for buying an iPhone.
