Why do people still buy iPhones when Android is cheaper and more flexible?

[Anonymous]

For the last 10 years, it is always the same features for a very expensive price.

Here in Turkey, people give 120.000 lira for the latest iPhone and that's $2700.

My Samsung Android phone has a big freedom and it is only $200. And I can do much more things than an iPhone shit.

The reason people buy iPhones in Turkey is purely for status. It takes a special kind of stupid to pay $2,700 for a $1,000 phone just to show off.

Those silly gooses won't get the chocolates or the attractive folks who usually, are poorer - me included lol 😂 I love Android 😁🤭

I also love cheap and cheerful Android since 2020

I've had three different Androids so far in my life - or technically three or four actually 📱 🤳 I can even remember my first one around the late 2000s - Huawei wasn't my jam 😁 at all

Not to be rude Huawei.
Vivo Mobile has been a joy as much as my Nokia's of old and a noble mention to a Samsung.

And Sony were good too as a smartphone
A shame they gave up phones 📱

Why buy phones at all?

I only have one because the company I work for supplied me with it. I would never buy one.

Aesthetics and simplicity with a side of

Social pressure.

Because people are largely stupid and will stick with a system they think they "know" rather than one they have more control over.

Cheaper also to go Android 😃

Everyone has their preferences. If they can afford it, what do you care?

[Pterodon]

Smoothness of operation. No android will ever catch up to that

A status symbol.

[Asker]

Is it also a status symbol there?

[Jessica405]

Sure.
