Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    Because Apple is still the only company to do a small smartphone without seriously degrading its performance.

      Here in Non-USA-istan (aka the rest of the world), most Chinese midrange phones hold their own for years and are not frowned upon by the local population for being “poor people phones”.

      Got my Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T near its launch date for a third of the cost of an iPhone and I don’t regret it at all. Battery life is still exceptional (a full day and change with heavy YouTube and Reddit Lemmy usage), I can pretty much play anything I throw the phone at (I can emulate anything up to Dreamcast/Naomi without a hitch, PS2/GameCube/Wii with some caveats, any handheld device up to 3DS/Vita almost flawlessly), and the camera does a decent job capturing good photos and video at up to 4K@30fps. I’m not filming a freaking documental with the device, but I can catch vacation photos with printing quality and that’s enough for me.

      I’m picking up an Asus Zenfone 10 when it releases in the US. It looks like this will be the best small Android in a loooong time.

      I would suggest you to give a look at the Sony Xperia 5, but we know that’s a lousy motivation.
