Probably because this is @technology, where everyone is obsessed with apple because they would never use it.
People here fucking haaaaate Apple. As a person with servers, a bunch of computers I’ve built myself, and an iPhone/iPad… it’s quite funny to me.
I just hate how they claim to be the best at everything and they came up with everything, even though Android users have had the same features for years. They also charge an arm and a leg for products simply because they can. They take advantage of people that know nothing about tech.
Heavily disagree when it comes to their phones and tablets. They’re top-tier lil machines with insane lifespans and they’re priced accordingly. I’m using an iPhone XS Max still—how old is that, five years? Still fully supported, original battery lasts all day.
For tablets, I don’t even have to justify anything. No Android tablets come close.
You might be right about computers, though—I haven’t kept up with those! I still use a 2011 MacBook Pro, just swapped the optical drive out for a solid state drive, and maxed out the RAM. That fucker was expensive originally (2.2k USD retail, but I got it for a steal cuz my old laptop got warrantied to death) but fuck me if it doesn’t still run wonderfully for being 13 years old. Doesn’t update to latest OSX though, which sucks.
I have a Oneplus 5t that I still use for miscellaneous tasks, battery life is good, updates stopped a few years ago, but Lineage runs very well on it. And it was probably less then half the price of the iPhone XS Max.
When's the last time you used an android Tablet? We have a Samsung Tab S6 and it runs excellently, there was a long period where they were downright bad, but if you don't buy some super cheap no-name brand, they're much better these days.
