Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

Tried a Samsung galaxy. It was just full of ads and notifications and pop-ups and a million icons across the top of the screen that had to be disabled in five still screens down in the settings. If felt like what a smart phone would be in Idiocracy - just full on corporate owned and driven experience. iPhone sucks cause they are so locked down but it also doesn’t feel like a nonstop advertising platform.

What phone was it? Because I haven't experienced any ads or popups on mine
