I don't use Apple, but I understand "old people" (like I am rapidly becoming) follow the 1) It works!, and 2) If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
You don't specify, but can I assume that he has the same iphone for the last 5-7 years, or he upgrades regularly?
Oh no, he has a low/midrange Android and upgrades every couple of years. But occasionally he mentions he's thinking of switching to Apple, and mentioned that as the reason every time.
Incidentally and unrelatedly, I have had the same iPhone for the last 7 years, but I've been using a feature phone for the phone part the last 5. I'm reemerging into the smartphone world with Verizon's 1X network shutting down and I've realized I am also definitely rapidly becoming "old people" myself.
All of the phones I thought were so cool are now hopelessly obsolete, and most may not even be able to activate on a current network. Even beyond the obvious headphone jacks, physical keyboards, and removable batteries, what happened to phones with FM radios, tiny secondary screens, and IR blasters? Everywhere I look all I see are big screens and fancy cameras.
