I switched to iPhone because the OnePlus brand-enhancements was the "last straw" of my experience with devices in the Android ecosystem. Other problems:
I'm not going to say that iPhone does not also have these kinds of issues, but combinatorially iPhone has less of them because you are not multiplying configurations with different screen resolutions, microprocessors, Android versions, manufacturers, carriers and promotional rate plans. I won't buy locked devices, because for me, it is better to consider the mobile phone as a tool you buy, and not a flavor-of-the-season vessel for a carrier's service plan. The prices of unlocked devices are closer to the true value of the device.
