iMessage and parental controls are the glue holding them to iPhones. Sure there are other very good reasons but I bet 90% of the iPhone pull is iMessage.

- joeman1000 5y agoI think a lot of the allure is brand recognition, along with better UI. When I have to use an android I’m always taken back by how clunky it feels. Android phones also have the (potentially overblown) stigma of being cheap, or owned by tight-arse people. It partly deserves this association. The lack of final polish on a lot of the software and hardware over the years has gradually pushed people over to iPhones. The experience on an iPhone is consistent, the hardware is always good, the ‘prestige’ is there too.
- tssva 5y agoI find it hard to believe it is better UI. Whenever I have to use an iPhone I am tempted to throw it against the closest wall due to frustration with the horrible UI.
