> Apple has had better mobile hardware for years.
No Aux port, no usb. Slow phone with slow animations. But maybe this is fixed, its been 10 years.
>Apple has higher consumer trust.
lmao, this is just a user error problem. None have trust. If they trust, yikes. Thats a negative that Apple can brainwash people.
>Apple has better app selection (for most people).
Solid no here. Being able to install stuff from fdroid is amazing.
>Apple has been increasingly implementing the core features that differentiate Android devices
As long as you are okay with waiting 4 years. Sure.
You forgot to mention how poor iPhone security is. People have died due to Apple's poor security.
"Slow phone with slow animations" is a crazy assessment, I switched from Galaxy S7 to iPhone XR in 2018 because the Galaxy was (like every other Android I had) slow to do everything, applications would crash randomly and my phone would just give up and reboot without warning. Not to mention all of the killer Android features that Google had gotten rid of up to that point (RIP notification ticker, I miss you so much). What's the point of being able to sideload and customize when none of it works on a day to day basis? And when Google/other Android phone manufacturers insist on their phones being more and more similar to iPhone/iOS, the reasons to stay on Android go away too.
Samsung is the Apple of Android. They are fake luxury and use a big marketing budget.
Not surprised the same kind of person that buys an iphone also fell for samsung.
In early 2016, it was by far the best Android offering available and it was a pitiful display for the operating system.
Most Android devices also don't have aux ports. iPhones have USB now too.
Losing the ability to easily sideload apps is what we're talking about.
How do iPhones have worse security than Android???
