Personally I don't understand the friends I have that use Android. They wear it as a badge of pride that they didn't give Apple money [0], ok... cool? None of them use a third-party app store, none of them use a custom rom, none of them really customize the phone at all past stock. I understand if you want to go the Android route to root/customise it but if you aren't going to do that then I really don't get the point. Google and Apple are, at worst, equal in how "evil" they are and in my opinion Apple comes out on top for more things that I care about.
I also never say shit about their phone/computer choices but for some reason some of them find reasons to bring up my use of Apple products regularly. Makes me think of the scene in Mad Men "I don't think about you at all" [1].

- jansan 3y agoMaybe they just want a descent browser on their phone. Another reason could be theat they don't have an abundance of financial resources and are fine with a $200 phone.

Safari is just fine on mobile. > Another reason could be theat they don't have an abundance of financial resources and are fine with a $200 phone. They are buying flagship Samsung or Pixel phones, finances isn't a factor here
- mike00632 3y agoWhat if we just want to customize our home screen? I use a custom launcher which doesn't require root or a custom rom.
- joshstrange 3y agoI totally understand that, that's why I said "I understand if you want to go the Android route to root/customise it" but none of my friends are doing that, that's what puzzles me.
