so many apple shills here.. why not upgrade to an adult phone?

So this makes me laugh because when I was younger and had more time to spend with rooting and custom ROMs, I used Android phones. And I loved them!

Now that I’m older I use an iPhone (for a number of reasons) and I also love it!

It’s almost like smartphones are tools that fit their use case, and not something else up be tribal over.

I'm just curious about how anyone can get excited enough to love any smartphone these days? Seems a necessary evil to me and a vessel for enshitification. What about the iPhone do you love so much?

I guess “love” is a strong term. It does everything I need it to and I have very few complaints, the same experience I had with my Android phone.
