Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone? (lemmy.world)

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?

Yeah. I added an addendum although I clearly did not format it properly.

They claim to be about privacy and seem to consider it a first class concern or however you want to put it.

I weighed the risks and the inconvenience of using a degoogled phone severely outweighs its utility for me.

In an ideal world I could be using GrapheneOS but a lot of OSS still has some ways to go in terms of design and functionality.

Also before the “HA GOTCHA GO SUPPORT THEM YOURSELF” etc etc, I financially support many open source projects and foundations and am working on sharpening my dev skills to contribute more.
