Integration. When I copy on my [Mac|iPhone|iPad|AppleTV] I can then paste on the other devices. When I enter the search field on the AppleTV my phone lets me type to the screen. I can transfer web pages from screen to screen if I wanna change where I'm browsing. All my devices work seamlessly with my AirPods. Etc.

I bought one because I thought that the camera would be better, but I'm having a hard time telling the difference between phones these days.
Also, Mini.
I like that I donβt have to customise or complicate the phone experience. I just want it to browse and communicate. I leave customisation for desktop. Blue bubble is a plus. Same system as my wife is important. And honestly I just like iPhones inertia when scrolling. Androids donβt look or feel right to me.
For fun. My last iPhone was a 4S, and after that I had a couple Sony Xperias and a Samsung Galaxy. When it was time to upgrade, I decided to get an iPhone 11 for a change, for no other reason than to see what they're like nowadays.
I've been really happy with it, it does everything I need it to do, and I don't miss the Galaxy at all.

Because Apple is still the only company to do a small smartphone without seriously degrading its performance.
Here in Non-USA-istan (aka the rest of the world), most Chinese midrange phones hold their own for years and are not frowned upon by the local population for being "poor people phones".
Got my Xiaomi Redmi Note 11T near its launch date for a third of the cost of an iPhone and I don't regret it at all. Battery life is still exceptional (a full day and change with heavy YouTube and ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy usage), I can pretty much play anything I throw the phone at (I can emulate anything up to Dreamcast/Naomi without a hitch, PS2/GameCube/Wii with some caveats, any handheld device up to 3DS/Vita almost flawlessly), and the camera does a decent job capturing good photos and video at up to 4K@30fps. I'm not filming a freaking documental with the device, but I can catch vacation photos with printing quality and that's enough for me.
Zenfone!
I'm picking up an Asus Zenfone 10 when it releases in the US. It looks like this will be the best small Android in a loooong time.
I would suggest you to give a look at the Sony Xperia 5, but we know that's a lousy motivation.
I like the clean design of iOS, and I like being able to Apple Pay my whole family if needed cause we still share like a phone bill and stuff, so it's easier to Apple Pay than bank transfer or download an app.
Plus I like Apple's credit card and now I have their savings account too....
Have you tried getting a human on the phone with any Google product ever ?
Leave a comment if you have ever talked to a google/alphabet employee during their work hours about a problem that you have with a google/alphabet service or product ?
