I'm more tech savvy than the average person, but I use Apple phones. I view the phone as an appliance and not a tinker toy which is what a lot of android users want

I tried Android a few years ago and basically developed this mindset. I prefer things to be thought out for me on my phone, I already spend too much time on it. Apple may only have one way to do things, but it does everything you want it to. I liked the phones I had and each had cool features the iPhone didn’t, but this also made them feel unfocused, trying to be different rather than better.

As far as being bought into the ecosystem, that includes other apple users. iMessage plays a whole lot better with other phones these days, but things like sharing pictures and contacts is really nice.

Also, while I’m not cycling through phones very quickly, switching phones on an Apple device is an incredibly seamless experience. You can drop your phone in the ocean and be back up running maybe 30 minutes after getting a new one.
