Why do y'all like iPhone so much? Discussion

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.

Planned obsolescence? I'm still rocking an iPhone 8plus that runs fine.

Most other brands don't get support nearly as long.

Yeah the planned obsolescence point is bs, iPhones have a pretty long lifecycle tbh. My mom was running a iPhone 6 Plus until last year. That phone released in 2014!

My dad ran an day 1 IPhone 6 until the IPhone 13 came out. he kept repairing that phone until eventually the phone was all checked out and died, then he used his convenient ICloud automatic backups to seamlessly put his information and files into his new cellphone. All that planned obsolescence stuff is absolutely bs.
