I will never understand people who buy apple products. I have used apple, android and pinephone and settled on android as its cheap and gets all the basic functions like calls, music and gaming work without any issues.

They work consistently, with very little direct maintenance, and have excellent in-person support. You don't have to figure out if it's a hardware or software problem.

Tbh I never had an issue with any of the phones except Pinephone but thats in early stages so its expected. May be its just baby boomers who get "issues " with their phone. I never had any of my friends complain about phone issues.

I had phones simply not work after an update.

We are talking about a broad issue, not one off like a single user being affected.

It's easier for the non tech savy person to keep in a working state, Android depending on the OEM and Windows come with a lot of bullshit that the average person don't know how to uninstall and avoiding accumulation of bloatware, even simple things like unchecking a checkbox on an instalation wizard are a mystery for most people.

Apple restrictive environment ends up removing a lot of footguns.

Are you saying apple has no bloatware ?
