Eh. I take your point, but disagree. Working in IT I have the privilege of hearing how frustrated iPhone users constantly are with their devices. But it's a frustration they're used to and to replace it with a more functional device would cost them status so it's a nonstarter.

Just last weekend I was helping a friend set up a pi-hole and he got stuck changing the DNS server IP in his router. The router only had an app and it wasn't working on his iPhone. I was able to download the app, login to his account, and change the DNS setting while he was still trying to get the app to start. This after an hour of him teasing about my Android. I'm not saying this has never happened on a non-apple device but when you have that much more control over your device and applications it makes it possible to actually troubleshoot and work around those kinds of issues. The iPhone is just a phone and social media machine. I'm carrying around the most powerful tool on my toolbelt.

And I don't mean to disparage people who like iPhones, everyone is entitled to what they like and it takes all sorts. I am just saying I think the argument is silly at this point.
