Here's the thing. Back when iPhone launched, Apple had an exclusivity deal with ATT so the only way you could get one was to switch service. Back then, ATT service was dog shit where I lived so the only option was to try Android. By the time iPhone was an option on other carriers, I was already too invested into Android.
Sure, Android had plenty of issues in its infancy, but flagship devices (particularly through Samsung) are now equal (if not better) in terms of innovation and quality.
The are people in this world who are dogmatic about using iPhone only and get their pussy wrecked whenever they see Android launch something new that they know Apple won't even try for a couple years afterward.
Who gives a shit what phone someone uses? Only Apple faggits, that's who. Android users by in large do not care.
