Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone? (lemmy.world)

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?

Ah sorry, still getting used to this UI, thought that was in reply to a different level comment.

Updates more than one or two years after the release of a device is the exception, not the norm.

Through the AOSP, many android phones are maintained indefinitely by the community. But I agree that proprietary firmware blobs don't get maintained for nearly as long as they should.

Custom ROMs are a thing of course. I use them too. Custom ROMs are, again, the exception rather than the norm however; most people use the stock ROMs and that's what I was referencing.
