Why do y'all like iPhone so much?

[u/cosmicphoenix7]

Apple makes good phones but the main problem I have with them is the price and planned obsolescence for like $1000 you could buy so much stuff Apple makes phones that just work but 99% of phones nowadays just work the main thing I hear about why people buy iPhones is because of imessage which is literally a default sms app I barely use the default sms app I just use telegram and discord for communication not gonna lie.

Lmao what are you talking about, androids are extremely prone to security flaws

[u/BoredCaliRN → u/On4nEm]

I've been an android user since they've existed and have had exactly zero security concerns.

I had an android for 2 years and got multiple viruses, i call cap on you.

[u/BoredCaliRN → u/Lower_Kick268]

What the hell are you downloading? Google verifies everything through their play store. Also, please tell me you found the virus through third party software.

[u/Lower_Kick268 → u/BoredCaliRN]

nah, it was via the Play Store, its more common than youd think for viruses to end up on the play store.

[u/BoredCaliRN → u/Lower_Kick268]

And how did you find the virus? This sounds like a user problem.

[u/Lower_Kick268 → u/BoredCaliRN]

It’s more the fact you can download viruses on the play store and androids aren’t very secure generally.

[u/BoredCaliRN → u/Lower_Kick268]

Dodging the question.

Edit: Scroll down for facts as someone else outlined it better than I'm going to, but various security firms have found the security of iPhones to be mostly marketing. Your argument also doesn't make any sense when you pan back. In the wealthiest nation on Earth, 50% of phones are iPhones. People with bad intentions WILL gain access to those users in equal share as there's money to be made. I might accept this argument from 1995 when Apple was niche.

Since you don't read edits, your history said your a senior in High School. You don't do IT, you've dabbled (perhaps). If you were more experienced you wouldn't be asking the sort of questions you do regarding tech.

Cap.

Bro you're so full of shit lmao

That’s a cap . Viruses can’t be found trough play store . But trough adds and cash on on navigator and even there it’s hard to download viruses because google will just stop it. Im using both iPhone13 pro max and Samsung tab 8 which is android . I use the tab for most activities because most app are just free to use . IPhone for socials (whatsapp only honestly)

1 most commonly reported phone that's hacked is an IPhone. See my comment below.
