For me, I have both (android phone and apple iPad) and I won't be changing that anytime soon. I also have a couple android tablets but they're just toys compared to the iPad lol.
I've never had an iPhone, and I have never liked them. Old ones were so chunky and small and heavy, and I absolutely **loathe** not being able to choose my own settings the way android lets me.
This is purely subjective, but I have always found the photos I take on my phone (Samsung 4 for years, then 5, and now Google pixel) to be MUCH better than equivalent on iPhones. Even when just displaying photos from other sources - including iPhones - the android screens I've had have just been so much better than any iPhone. Spec wise, iPhones are clearly generally better, but in reality I will go for quality android phone cameras every time.
The things I dislike about iPhones are tolerable to me for the convenience of the the iPad. I use that instead of my laptops now (I have a windows as well as MacBook gathering dust). I still hate the lack of customisation, and I very rarely ever use the camera.
For young and or/inexperienced tech users, I've found apple to be the best at meeting needs + limiting potential trouble. Luckily my partner is happy to pass his old iPhone along whenever he upgrades - this has cut down significantly on the emergency troubleshooting calls we used to get from both my parents and one sister lol.

Either one for me! My most recent phone and my current phone have both been iphones, and yeah, expensive, but they last a freaking long time for me. That said, I'm not into getting the newest releases, so I don't really feel the cost burden. If I did, I don't think I'd appreciate Apple as much at the releases/rates they're spitting out

My whole family and I use Android, so I'll choose that one. Whenever I have to use an Apple it's so weird since I'm not used to it.
I've never been a fan of having Apple products. They're beautiful and smooth, but that's about it to me. It's like wanting a relationship with someone just for their looks lol. Androids feel more personal to me, and the options are far more vast; with something as "close" to you as your cell phone, you'd want that.
That's just my opinion though, I'm sure Apple users have good reasons for having theirs.

I was, until the Lumia.
What a truly horrid brick of a thing.
I owned it for 5 minutes then realized I would hurt someone if I kept it in my possession any longer. So I took it back and switched to Android.
I used to be indifferent and I’d switch between Android and Apple. I traded in my Galaxy S4 active for an iPhone 7+ sometime last year and I regret the decision. I always thought that the lack of an iPhone jack was a dumb move but I decided to give it a chance, and it is annoyingly inconvenient (alongside other Apple-like traits)
. Idk if I’ll ever get an iPhone again after this, they really need to step up their game.

I've always had android phones, so when I have to use an Apple I don't know what to do. XD I'm far more comfortable with the whole system on an android for sure.

Such a tease!
I vote for android. Apple stuff is probably fine, but all of their stuff is really expensive and I don't like that a lot of it is just boring white.

Have a lovely day!
I've used both Apple and Android products in my lifetime and overall I think Android is the better choice. Better camera, better life, better storage, more reliable...
it's just better lol.
it's just better lol.
