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)

    Prior to iPhone I was Samsung (S2, S3) then OnePlus and finally Nexus 6P. Their defining characteristics were “flagship killer for mid-tier price”.

    I was eagerly awaiting the first Pixel phone as an upgrade, because their release coincided with my upgrade schedule. Then they released and the pricing was equal to iPhone 7.

    There was no obvious Android alternative at the time, so I said “if I’m going to spend iPhone money anyway, I’m going to buy an iPhone”.

    Almost yearly upgrades ever since, except I skipped 12 and 13, got the 14PM late after release and the 15PM on release.

    I’ve seen the state of the Android device market and I don’t like what I see, but I’m gradually being tempted because of the now ridiculously high price of iPhone.
