Unfortunately I can’t go back to android. I promised myself it would be the last time I make that mistake the last time I decided to give android a chance.

I trust folding phones even less because their durability in the long term is still questionable.

I used to be the biggest android fan boy when I was younger but every single fucking android smartphone I have ever owned would start shitting the bed shortly after the first big software update and then I would just have to suffer until I was due for my next upgrade.

I had an iPhone 6s up until six months ago and then it died when I dropped it in a fountain. I upgraded to an iPhone 8 and the thing works flawlessly. Maybe android flagships are better now but I’m not going to throw away $1000 on a Galaxy Ultra whose battery may or may not explode after a year when I can get an iPhone that’ll last me 5+ years.

My company did a study on phone durability and cost. The iPhone was like 30% cheaper based on failures alone. This, despite a higher up front cost.
