For the money, Apple can kiss my ass. How many features do you really need? What superficial horse shit!

I have a iPhone 12 pro max. I love it.
Son has a 12 pro
Daughter has 11.
We all have Mac pros and air’s.
Wife has a 11, Mac air and the latest watch. Her job pays for all her electronics.

We drank the cool-aid and it tastes good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have a 7-yr-old iPhone.

Does exactly what I need it to do with minimal muss, fuss. No bells, whistles, extra stuff to show off.

I get compliments on my "old school" equipment.

Kinda like my Porsche 914.

Just think what we had for phones, and computers, in 1970. The big technology in phones included exotic car radio phones for very dedicated (and wealthy) people, and extra long coiled cords for regular folks. And I was learned how to create punch cards and load them into a refrigerator-size computer.

I've got a 11pro max(work) and a Sony android.

I'm an android guy but the apple just works. And had a rediculous camera.

I just got rid of my iPhone 4 and moved to a 7 about a year ago. Kids at work couldn't belive how small it was. It actually fit in your pocket. Now there's a novel idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

I only got rid of it because it was 3G and I found the network was limiting 3G bandwidth in favor of LTE. It had slowed down to virtually nothing.

I can't understand for the life of me what it is with software updates that think it is acceptable to Fuch with the settings of my phone.

Best thing about the iPhone 4 was when Apple stopped supporting it with those Fuching updates that jack up your phone setttings.

We are an iPhone family. Use iMessage cause cell service sucks. One of my daughters boyfriend has an android. If I want to send a cute picture to that group chat, I have to stand in the front yard. Very frustrating

Me, too. Retired about 2 years ago so no longer a company phone. "Backdated" to an iPhone 7 - took a while to figure (most) things out. Don't bother with the rest of the "stuff". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

well i take research like that with a grain of salt, you can pick that apart if you know how
to look at studies like this, but
we must be the outliers because my son is a genius VERY high IQ, definitely highest in our family, and he is the only Android user, but mainly because he is a programmer and software developer for a major financial institution, i guess the rest of us are pretenders with out Iphones, but i have a 6s and when it dies i am just going back to a flip phone for actual phone use only. .......
theymake new flips now....

That's what pisses me off the most, and it's not an Android or iOS problem-the phones should at least come in a version that is pocket sized. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

iPhone since day one.
Purchased my first (and these first) iPhone with money I saved from mowing neighborhood lawns.

Its saved my ass with the 914 while working; having this site open, using the light, music for sanity, etc.

Over complicated, maybe, but it is indeed a tool.

With publishing, you're kinda stuck with Apple—though I did prefer the "logic" of its interface to PC when I made the leap. As I did then, I find the interface to be more approachable/simpler, but this may be a personal thing.

For me, peak iPhone for form factor was iPhone 5 (later reintroduced as the first SE). Fit in your front or back pocket, beautiful case, timeless. But 5G, support, availability, Apple's games with batteries/speed (ugh), etc forced me to move on. If we're allowed to dream, and could hot rod as we can with Porsches, mine would be an iPhone 5 case with a full-front screen, the latest camera, max photo storage, and a replaceable battery. I know, ain't gonna happen.
