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?

    I work in construction, lots of dust, I used to go through phones like crazy. That s5 was the first one I got a proper dust/damp/impact resistant case for. I bought it new about a year after it came out and it’s still kicking.

    Out of curiosity, what is it that usually goes wrong with the androids you bought? And what kind of androids did you get? I definitely have bought cheaper androids and had them last a handful of months.

      Almost always software issues. Of course with the cheap ones I got when I was young weren’t great when they were new. The one I remember being underwhelming was the Oneplus 6T, which I bought new. It was great for the first year, then it started crashing, lagging under fairly normal use. Funnily enough the performance was fine in games, normal usage was the problem. It also had a tendency to turn itself off at random.

      I’ve had my iPhone longer than I had the Oneplus and it runs just as well today as it did when I bought it.

        I’ve never had a OnePlus unit, but from what my 3 friends who did said, they’re really good until they’re not. And none of them had one for longer than a year and a half.
