As much as I dislike apple, I don't really hold it against people if they choose to use iPhones. Iphones are overpriced, but they're decent phones and I can't really blame someone for not wanting to learn a different mobile OS or lose out on all the apps they've paid for. Also a lot of android OEMs make terrible design decisions with their software modifications/bloatware, and it can be really hard for someone non-tech savvy to know how to buy a good android phone. Iphones are comparably simple to shop for, you only have a few options and they're all going to be decent (if not necessarily a good value).
Iphone elitism really bothers me though, it feels like it's taking a lack of knowledge/experience and turning it into something to feel smug about.
Exactly.
I use an iPhone for work, because they pay for it, it does the essentials well, and since they manage the device, I get no benefit from Android's openness.
My personal phone will always be Android, because I like to use a pocket computer the way I want to use it, not how the vendor thinks I should use it.
