I’m not saying you are a liar mate, but in my personal use of a smartphone, I can’t use an iphone, there are some many things I do on it what I can’t do in an iphone. So I prefer to buy a new cheap android smartphone every 1-2 years instead of a 5 years device with I can’t do 50% of the things I do on Android,
The main reasons I don’t use apple it’s cos, you can’t use ADB(or similar) and you can’t install anything outside the app store out of the box.
In my personal POV and for the things I do with my phone(run my business they way I like le to run it) I prefer to buy cheap Chinese smartphones for around 100 bucks each 1-2 years instead of spending 700 bucks in an iphone with a can’t do 50% of the things I do on Android.
