Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone?

Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

You can degoogle your android phone. There are ROMs/OSs which are free from tracking.

But then you lose functionality like Android Auto, where on an iPhone you get CarPlay. Android Auto on my Pixel 7 Pro is fine, honestly like as much as CarPlay, but if you install something like Graphene OS, it no longer works.

Yeah but if that's the price of not being tracked means, I happily say goodbye to android auto. I'm using lineageOS for years and I didn't notice much missing except Google pay and android auto.

When on iPhone, Apple still tracks you when your privacy settings should've disable it.

Why do you need to use a Google app to use NFC payment? Why isn't there an F-Droid app for that?

No. I read somewhere it needs bank agreements or something. Unfortunately microG doesn't support it too... I think that's my biggest con, but as long as banking and money transfer apps works, I don't mind.

Bank apps are a very big one but I really don't care I'm not giving in
