Anonymous, 30 Oct 2021I don't know why I should buy apple while xiaomi, oppo... moreIf all you care is raw hardware specs and what "more" features Android offers out of the box. Just don't expect any major updates or even security updates past 2 years for any of them. That's where "much cheaper" comes from on Android devices. They just don't care much about products they have already sold where Apple does very much. Like I said, most users here on GSMArena couldn't care less and only care about specs. I care about both and iPhones are just better in that regard for me personally.

    I don't know why I should buy apple while xiaomi, oppo, oneplus, etc. exist. The same quality phone for much lower price is available. I don't need to impress people with some apple logo I just need a good phone that gives great value.

Just for the record all of what I just said wasn't being applied to me, I buy what mobile device can suit my needs. If people want to buy a phone so they can flash a logo or be a part of a group that's their problem

                  Apple keeps users very happy, Apple have made it really difficult to leave by making such a great products over and over again

Do you buy it for yourself or for others? Also, if they are so offended, just tell them if it bothers them so much, then they should buy you a new iPhone 13 Pro Max. And you're annoyed that women would not date someone because they use a wrong brand of phone? That's good, would you date someone so shallow? I know I wouldn't...

                        Not really loyalty but rather I'll just take whatever phone is offered by my carrier.

                          I own iPhone and Android phone. The only Apple service that I use is Apple Music both on my iPhone and Android phone. Wall garden or whatever shit you people talking about is not there. I can freely terminate my Apple Music service anytime. You people (haters) like to bullshit over something that you don't even using it or owning it.

                              bulbulito.bayagbag, 29 Oct 2021I don't think there's a ton of variety in the USA... moreIt's natural that people don't have brand loyalty for brands that are not even available in the market. And that doesn't necessarily mean that people won't buy them when they are available. OnePlus isn't on the loyalty list, but Americans buy OnePlus.

                                AnonF-1013367, 29 Oct 2021I heard if you don't own an iPhone with the blue bubbl... moreThis is in most US schools where you get bullied for having an android, no matter what android it is. Do recognize any of these quotes:
                                " ewwwww android",
                                " he a broke boy cause he's using an android", "I'm team blue bubble 4 life🤪, green bubble is trash".
                                Some girls won't even date you if your using an android. I remember one dude saying he was forced to get an iPhone just so he can fit in and tired of getting made fun of. This might have dialed down a small bit since iphones aren't seemed as luxury products as much as it used to but back in the days it was rough for android users in the US. Whatever marketing Apple is doing it's working on teenagers

                                  Basically they support what their country make and probably if you don't support your country you will be anti social in every country

                                      This is a poor comparison. Android as a platform is delivered to end users through multiple brands. iOS is not. You can switch brands relatively easily with Android because it's very similar.

                                      The real comparison should be the frequency of people buying an iOS device to replace an Android phone and then compare that to the 10% for Apple users switching away from the brand.
