Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

Barely lol. Basically just the Fairphone 4 and the OnePlus 6.

I think you're confusing things. The Fairphone 4 and OnePlus 6 are both regular Android phones, but Android is based on Linux.

Edit: maybe you meant they're running stock Android instead if a custom version (with bloatware) like Samsung phones.

Other smaller Adroid brands, like Nokia and Motorola, do that as well. I don't really understand why people still bother with Samsung's bullshit.

PinePhone is an actual Linux phone, though it's nowhere near ready to replace Android or iPhones.

Good call! I forgot about the PinePhone.

Yeah I meant more Linux friendly. All the software is still in alpha.

It's a start I guess. Something to keep an eye on.
