Let me paraphrase you:
"I have no idea how people can enjoy something I hate, since I can't understand that, they must be brainwashed"
Now to answer your actual question, "why do people buy iPhones?"
I use an iPhone 12 Mini, I bought it as I needed to upgrade from my iPhone 6s.
I have used Android phones and tablets, they are great devices, and I liked them.
Why do I still use an iPhone if I like Android?
Because I like iOS more than Android.
The main reason is that Android is made by a marketing company, and I allways feel like they are looking over my shoulder when I use Android, iOS doesn't give me that feeling, though I do realize that they probably are monitoring my use, but the feeling isn't the same.
If you are representative of Android users then I am glad to not be one.
Fuck no, Android is awesome iOS is awesome, I'm kinda struggling to decide which my next phone is gonna be tbh.
That's more like it (:
I fully agree, Android is brilliant at some aspects, iOS is brilliant at some other aspects, you decide for yourself what works for you.
Appropriate username.
So what it is it you don't like about the iPhone 12 mini. The only thing that wasn't very good about it was battery life (which is why I bought the 13 Mini (upgrading from a 7). Or are you, you know - just here for the lols?
