Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    Samsung hardware is generally pretty solid, so I’m not surprised - but are you still getting OS and security updates? That’s the real downside of Android (at least to me).

      No, it’s EoL was November 2021, but the s5 was pretty easy to root, so as soon as it was out of warranty I put a CFW on it.
      Now a question for you. Is the iPhone 6 still getting OS and security updates?

      I generally buy used, and get 5 years of use from a phone, the ones I buy new basically never die. I keep the newer ones for a back up in case something happens to my current one, and the older ones I give away to friends or family that need a phone.

        iPhone 6 updates ended with iOS 15. Still, that’s a pretty good run. Unfortunately, you can’t root an iPhone and install a custom ROM like you can with Android.
