I used an iPhone for years, 4, 5, 6.
Switched to Android this year and love it. More features, more innovation, and the file management system is
I don't own a laptop, so being able to cop mp3s directly onto my phone is HUGE. iTunes is the least intuitive thing apple has ever made.
I also work in the cell phone industry and since starting there I've realized why people like androids so much, I was a brainwashed apple Stan for years and never understood till I started using them
If you are a simple person who just wants a phone to work, go apple.
If you are someone who wants to be able to customize, tinker, manage yourself independently, etc, then get an Android. If you are into phones at all, get an Android. Cop a s7e or Pixel and don't look back.
