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)

    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

      You’re the type of customer they love - the ones who think they do no wrong, lol.

      They absolutely, positively, harvest your data just as much as other companies.

      This…very much. I feel like iphones are safe and reliable. Unless you get a Google Pixel, every other brand of android phone has basic android and their UI laid over it, which ends up as a bloated experience no matter which company it is. With Apple, I also know exactly how much support I am getting for a particular device. And they work for that period and often more. The cliche “it just works” comes from somewhere.

      That being said, I miss the ease of downloading new ringtones. It’s so easy on Androids. As I have grown older it has mattered less and less, though, my phone is almost always silent. I rarely recognize its sounds when it makes any.

      I find that most, not all, of the people who say this still use multiple Google accounts on their devices which completely negates this idea.
