Not being locked to one ecosystem and being forced to do everything the 'Apple' way. One of the biggest annoyances I have is being tech support for family with Apple products and they always ask why I am able to do stuff so easily with my 'cheap android'.

There's a certain level of classism I feel when it comes to phones, it almost feels tribal. Outside the tech/enthusiast space, the average person (at least here where I live) correlate Android with being the cheap option, whereas if you pick iPhone, you are picking the premium option.

Absolutely a class deal with my family. They aren't rich by any means but if you aren't running a Macbook, iPad, and iPhone then what are you doing with your life? They have no idea how to use most of their devices and they also have to watch every youtube ad on their official youtube client.. HAHAAHAHAAHHA
