    It is true. However for me the sweet spot is an Android midrange around 500 euros.

    So taking this into account, my iPhone 15 Pro Max costs 1500 euros. Selling it in 2 years would probably range from 800 - 1000 euros which means a loss of 500 - 700 euros. Instead buying a midrange Android of 500 in 2 years it can be sold 150 to 200. Which means a loss of 300 to 350 which is actually smaller.

    Of course this doesn’t go for upper tier phones like the S23 ultras etc. They do lose their value quite quicker. But honestly for me this is one more thing that I wouldn’t do like spend that money in Android just to get more bells and whistles

    You are 100% right about the community importance.

    What you mention about accessories is also correct. Personally, I am quite a plain user for that (I only need a case and screen protector glass) so I haven’t felt it.

    The iPhones have fast charging of 25W. My previous midrange charged at 65W… For my iPhone I need 45 minutes to get a full charge while with my old one I needed 20.

    What I am not sure about is privacy. Android has also introduced a lot of permission wise controls for the apps. But can’t really insist whether in total they offer more privacy or not
