Simplicity. It’s just easier when everyone is on the same platform when it comes to various services, messaging etc. Everything is integrated and you don’t have to find a workaround for the person who is on a different platform.I use Samsung and my kids have been trying to get me to switch to Apple for years. I don't get why?
I have an even more controversial opinion. Cell phones are overrated. To hear people talk, it's like what did we ever do without em. HAHA. Oh paid about $15 bucks for a phone that lasted for life, about $20 a month for service and averaged about $20 or so for long distance. Now we pay up to $1500 for a phone that lasts 10 years, $120 a month for service. But long distance is free!!

I know, right? Talking on the cell phone is so old school.My kids almost never use their cell phones to actually talk. That's so 2005.
You sound very similar to my husband. He's a software engineer who builds computers and has always hated Apple's proprietary stuff. But a couple years ago, I needed a computer for a desk in my kitchen, and he suggested an iMac because it looks so much cleaner in an open space. That led to both of us and my daughter getting iPads. I get frustrated with my iMac at times, but I absolutely love my iPad. Now having both of these, I keep thinking I should get an iPhone next due to the integration; we have had Pixels and used Google Fi for years. I do love my Pixel phone and think it's more intuitive than my iPad.I've never been a fan of Apple and it proprietary stuff.
I've almost always build my own PCs so when it came to smart phones I started with Android or Windows and stuck with it.
Yeah - I have no interest in talking to people on the phone.I know, right? Talking on the cell phone is so old school.
SameI LOVE my iPhone. But, to be honest, I've never used any other type of smart phone. When I upgraded from an iPhone 8 to a 13, I was shocked at the improved camera quality.
My Nokia was still up to date when I switched to iPhone (birthday present). The man heard me arguing with AT&T about my plan and decided to get me a new oneMan, what smart phone are you buying that lasts 10 years? I mean, it might still function, but software-wise, obsolesence happens way sooner than that.
