Some combination of conspicuous consumption and simple fanboyism, presumably.

i think google's approach to this has been throwing stuff at the wall and hoping something will stick but it never does.

Have you heard of WhatsApp? Quite a few people have it. You can send decently sized video over it and video chat.

Also, newer phones with some providers have video calling built in.

Because there's always deals going on and everything is financed nowadays, so people don't really care about a few dollars monthly differences. This applies to high end Androids as well.

Also, mid and low end Androids generally suck beyond the basics and have bad support and don't have as amazing deals.

Facebook Messenger lets me do all that stuff, too.

The only advantage the iPhone has over an Android device is security from the government.

Can use Google Duo on both iOS and Android. Ditto for WhatsApp, which also offers end-to-end encryption and video calling.

The iPhone Im using right now was a Christmas present.

Its a 7.

Needless to say, Im getting an Android next.

My phone recently just took a s*** and now none of my apps are able to use photos and I cant activate them in my Settings.

I thought about updating my phone but then saw that the newest update was a whole gigabyte for, like, two small changes.

I deleted 2,000 pictures off my phone yesterday and I still am almost full on storage somehow.

I have a 32GB Version. This should not be happening.

Theres been some meme going around where the caption is some variant of trying to tell android users why iPhone is better and I could not disagree with it more.
