iPhones are Garbage

Despite your atrocious spelling and grammar you are right, the iPhone is one of a kind. Like I said before, it's been one of a kind since the first iPhone. The difference between the iPhone and other phones is that every year a new one comes out and it's the same one of a kind phone you bought in 2004. The problem with that is if you've been loyal to apple since it's first release and bought the new one every year since on release, you've invested on average $500/year into a phone you already have. It may have a great "user friendly" interface, but since that's Apple user's only real argument nobody has ever taken the time to try the Android user interface simply because they already know how to use the iPhone and either afraid to try something knew or afraid to see how frail and dim-featured it actually is. The seamless organization of home screens, the option to circle them back at the end, home screen widgets (both built-in, and downloadable), and the fact you can even get launchers to make your phone an iPhone? Revolutionary. Android is the friendliest user interface ever made. All you have to do is set it up and customize it once and it works exactly how YOU want it, not just how it's made. I "narrowingly" focus on the hardware because it's LITERALLY what the phone is made of. You can't make a house out of straw or sticks and expect a wolf not to blow it down. If you make your house with bricks, it will stand for a very long time. This is something we learned in grade school. Most Android devices are using AT LEAST a Quad-Core processor. Samsung has been using an Octa-Core processor in mass production since the Galaxy S6. Even the cheaper budget Android device are out performing and out featuring iPhones for less than $200 (with the same easy-to-use user interface). When the "brand as a whole" has been swindling people for years into buying the same phone they already have, it's hard to see the appeal. When you "create a following in the brand" you start a movement that means something, when all it means is they are never going to make a new phone, and the following is based upon lies, its more like an extreme dictatorship; like North Korea. Also as you stated immediately after, all brands have made a following in the brand. Not just Apple, obviously. Brands that don't have a following don't have sales, so all brands have a following. You also didn't mention "How?" Apple created a movement or what it stands for. Additionally, "how many giggs the thing has" is a very bleak phrase. The storage in cell phones is measured in gigabytes, Android phones offer you more by giving you SD card capability, and people literally buy iPhones based on their storage (again obviously). You mentioned a second time people buy it for what it stands for but haven't explained what that is. Stating that I am "looking from an outsiders perspective" was horribly out of line. Sorry if I forgot to mention that I was an iPhone user first and have experience with them before beginning the argument, I began with the iPhone 3GS and I still today use an iPod 5 and iPad Mini because they are convenient off-hand devices, but the phones are a scam. I realized that ever since the iPhone 5. I don't know if they meant it that way before hand (because the 3GS and 4 were pretty great) but every phone after that was a scam. From personal experience, I work for Sprint. I help sales reps in stores complete transactions, and because of security policies the only way any retailer can activate a replacement device is by calling Sprint Sales Support. I receive on average 40 calls a day (out of 60 total) from Apple stores across America. at least 35 of those 40 calls are specifically replacing a device already active on the account (by that I mean they would usually have an 8, 8 Plus, or X, and are replacing with the same model), and with that in mind, I also work in a room full of people that work the same job and take calls with the same statistic. I, and more experienced agents that work above me, have never received a call from Samsung since I started working here, but the calls from Apple stores are becoming more and more abundant. One call I received, an agent literally told me he had to replace the SIM card as well because the device had exploded. If you actually look online you can find testimonials from Apple technical support workers that exclaim 90% of workers avoid apple products. Their department take back to back calls constantly because there is always something wrong with them. Lastly, your "intuitive and convenient" messaging is actually better with android as you get the exact same function, except it works on every device that you can open Google on, including Apple devices.
