3 reasons why I have an iPhone, and will never switch

Apple has trapped me, I’ll admit.

Four iPhones.

For the most part, the iPhone vs. Android debate is user-preference. Apple’s phones are easier to use. At the same time, those who prefer phones manufactured by Samsung or Google don’t want to be entrapped inside Apple’s garden. Unfortunately for me, I am well past that.

There is some merit to each sides’ argument, but it’s far harder for me to appreciate Android’s operating system than it is for me to appreciate Windows.

While Windows is functional, I find Android to be clunky and lacking in design. Most choose between macOS and Windows because either they play video games or use software not meant for either. One of the main reasons I have a Mac to begin with is due to Apple’s Final Cut Pro video editing software.

Some softwares, such as CATIA and other product design software, are not available for macOS. Besides, have you ever seen an engineer use a Mac? Of course not.

On the flip side, macOS is the industry-standard for creatives, such as graphic designers, filmmakers, and podcast producers. Even many musicians choose macOS over PC.

The reasons for choosing iPhone vs. Android is not really a cut-and-dry debate. Most of it is just preference. But why has Android…
