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?

Comparing iPhone to "Android" isn't fair, because people conveniently compare it to the lowest end. Compare the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the S23 Ultra for example, a phone from a respected company at the same price range. And it isn't "luck". Just a quick Google search will give you the high-end Android devices currently.

The iPhone SE is as low end as Apple gets and it also gets reliably updates. It’s in the brand.

Also if you know what to google for you are already in the know. Plenty of people get their cheap phone from Aldi.

The similarly priced Pixels get similar update levels to the iPhone SE
