iPhones end up being cheaper in the long run. They get software updates much longer than almost any Android phone, and at least here even small cities have local shops that repair them. It's also just a superior user experience.
I wish they kept on making the mini models though. I'm using a 13 mini, which has been really nice. Most modern smartphones are uncomfortable to carry in the front pocket of slim pants.

There are restaurants I can’t checkout at for example because the button is stuck just below the fold and I can’t scroll to click it due to shitty ui
- rifty 3y agoI've found just setting the browser to always load sites at 75% zoom solves a lot of these issues. There is also the option 'Hide Toolbar' behind the 'aA' button on Safari which also helps as well
- fgeahfeaha 3y agoYup, you just can't beat standardization The support is way better because there isn't a million different models
- wilsonnb3 3y agoI think it has more to do with vertical integration of the hardware and software than the number of models. Supporting Android phones requires collaboration between the chip vendors, hardware manufacturers, and Google, which is difficult.
