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?

Not OP but I interpreted the comment to mean “my iPhones last longer so I replace them less often, therefore spending less over time than buying a less expensive android phone more often”

I'm a diehard Android fan and even I admit iPhones tend to hold their resale value a bit better than comparable Android phones as well.

Resale value maybe, but I'm finding phones are just generally lasting longer these days. My phone is coming up to 3 years old and I have no inclination to upgrade. It doesn't feel slow, all the apps still work, its running latest OS. There was a time when I was upgrading every 12 months but that just isn't the case anymore.

High resell value just means you can't get cheap old products. I spent about 300$ on phones in the past decade. I buy used android for ~100$ and use them for 3-5 years. Never had any issue.
