Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

I don’t want to be the guy with low res photos in the group chat

Literally no reason other than blue bubbles.

I was all ready to switch and then someone asked “so you don’t care about the blue bubbles eh?” and I chickened out and got yet another iphone

For fun. My last iPhone was a 4S, and after that I had a couple Sony Xperias and a Samsung Galaxy. When it was time to upgrade, I decided to get an iPhone 11 for a change, for no other reason than to see what they're like nowadays.

I've been really happy with it, it does everything I need it to do, and I don't miss the Galaxy at all.

I like the clean design of iOS, and I like being able to Apple Pay my whole family if needed cause we still share like a phone bill and stuff, so it's easier to Apple Pay than bank transfer or download an app.

Plus I like Apple's credit card and now I have their savings account too....
