Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone?

I want my phone to be like a gaming console.
I turn it on, it works. I install curated stuff from a store.
The hardware is stable and predictable and thus software is of better quality when the developer doesn’t need to test 420 different hardware variants.
I do not want it to be a Linux PC I need to tinker with every day. I specifically want it to prevent me from fucking with it.

Unsure why you got downvoted. Same experience here. I already script and program, sometimes I just want stuff that’s stable.

Exactly
I have a separate cheapo Android phone with a prepaid sim for those cases where I need to fiddle with something really specific.
My actual phone just has to work every day. I don’t want it to stop allowing emergency calls because Teams had the ability to intercept calls at the OS level and failed 😅
