99% - because I am a poor.
1% - even if I had an iPhone I'd feel obliged to say (for instance) "I need to charge my iPhone" instead of just "I need to charge my phone" and I wouldn't be comfortable with adopting that mindset.

Poor or not there is no justifiable reason to spend 1000+ dollars on a lovely electronic toy that you'll smash within a year probably. Especially if you have to sell your soul in a 3 year contract with a lovely provider for meager savings.

Having a cheap phone owns because you will eventually drop and break it. I'd rather my reaction to that be "oh drat" instead of "oh drat i guess i can't afford food for the next 3 months"

I worked a short time for doing tec-support for Apple iOS devices, and put me off Apple entirely. Besides the fact Apple devices suck, they are weird and cult like with Apple devices, laughably said the turn over to get a new phone is supposed to be 8 months and treated workers like poo poo. Also had a rule that you can never hang up on someone, up to and including literal verbal abuse.

Edit: The real reason is that iPhones are overpriced garbo, whereas my Galaxy is was appropriately priced garbo.

Real talk:
Iphones didn't support flash which kinda hobbled the "full fledged" internet at the time so I chose Android and never rethought the decision.

I use Apple at work and it just randomly, fabulously decides not to work all the time. Like, in very unique ways. I'd almost be impressed if I wasn't losing hours of work.

The Android phones that are comparable in quality to iPhones are also comparable in price. Well, aside from the X/XS. It's fine if you have a cheaper phone and don't care but don't act like your $200 Moto whatever is as good as a Samsung Galaxy S9 or Google Pixel 3.

Your 200$ moto is just as good if not better than overpriced garbage. What the gently caress are you going to do with your phone, mine butt coin? You'll just call and message and poo poo post all day, anything beyond that is worthless.

I choose the phone with the OS made by an advertising company and used by my phone vendor because it was free. That is definitely a recipe for quality.

Because I'm a huge nerd who likes rooting phones and taking advantage of carrier freebies they give you when you port a number.

The upside to having all that different hardware from various manufacturers running android OS means I can look specific chipsets that run the "fun" apps.

An example would be the IR blaster, which many companies stopped putting in phones, let's your phone be a universal TV remote. Lots of fun in bars.

Heh, enjoy your viruses. Apple products don't get viruses. You ignorant fools. I'm a creator and an influencer. Whilst I'm creating content and donating iPhones to children in the inner city, you're playing videogames and shoving GMO cheeseburgers full of gluten into your obese white faces. Try meditating and seeking enlightenment for once in your life.

Edit: educate yourselves.
