    iPhone is still WAY more expensive, more prone to failure, harder and more expensive to repair, and you can’t do the same with the device as on an android. So as long as you are a rich non-power user with little technical knowledge and don’t care about the money, then I guess iPhones (and apple in general) are okay, I guess.

    That also directly describes most Apple users

      If anything that’s nonsense, iPhones are cheaper and easier to get repaired and far less to failure and I say this as someone who runs a store that sells phones.

        iPhones are cheaper than Android phones? And they’re easier to repair?

        I’m sorry but both those claims are lies. iPhones and apple hardware in general always is more expensive for less hardware. And though I’m sure there are some hard to repair Android phones out there, apple typically makes sure you get sabotaged if you don’t repair your hardware at their stores and yes, their repair services are insanely expensive

          Try to as a normal non technical user get a random £200-300 android phone repaired that isn’t Samsung and then try to get an iPhone repaired and see the cost difference
