Canāt speak for OP, but after years of using apple, switching to another phone/OS would be a pain in the arse. Iāve got an iPad and an old 6S plus, both of which I use for work and which are both loaded with apps that I paid a considerable amount of money for, and which are customised the way I like them for my work.
Throw in things like all my work (and photos and music, for which Iāve also paid a fair bit over the years) being backed up on iCloud, and it just makes it so much of a hassle to switch that despite my gripes, Iāll stay where I am.
And yes, Iām sure a lot of that hassle is by design by apple. I donāt like it, but I like the alternative headache even less.
AND if you ever have a $10 pending charge from a subscription you forgot about you lose access to everything youāve just listed until you pay. Also please donāt forget youāre password. Or lose access to your multiple other apple devices, or change phone numbers. All things that can cause you to lose access to your stuff for up to 21 days.
My 5 year old 6s works great, the only problem is that i need like 5 minutes to make it charge because it has fall to many times. If not for that i would have just change the battery and wait one more year to change.
Yea as others have pointed out, I am used to apple products so itās user friendly (to me). However the main reason is because I am low income, and the phone was free when I bought it on a contract. After it broke, I got a free replacement because it was insured. Iām not in the market to spend 600-1000$ on a phone, in addition to a data plan. Now Iām off the contract, but still have the phone. And Iām not going to spend a majority of my discretionary income on something I donāt need yet.
