I grew up with Macs (dad was a Mac-head) & became an early adopter for everything i[Mac/Book/Pod/Phone/Pad]. Having these devices was a no-brainer bc they were family staples & we didn’t know any better.
In fact, I still have a working [at]mac[dot]com email address. Waited in line to get the first iPhone in 2007. Switched to a newer version every year since.
Until my last in 2015 when I felt like I literally “upgraded” to the same phone 4x.
It was the same year when I started noticing how everyone & their gran seem to just have or get i[Stuff] for the sake of the perceived status.
So I switched (Moto X) & never looked back. Even if 90% of my social + professional circle then were (& still are) Apple users.
And wow. It was wild knowing first-hand how the rest of the Android-using world have been done & over with all the “new” iFeatures I was excited about through the years.
I mean, my husband (Silicon Valley person) has always told me, but we lived in an iOS/Windows/Android household & I had no reason to question what I’ve always thought to be an innovative company.
Come see for yourself!
Current phones: Z Flip 5 (work) & Z Fold 5 (personal). Well worth the money in exchange for actual innovation.
TL:DR; I switched from overrated to underestimated. I 100% support your intention to do the same.
