   Android users, what's stopping you from switching to iOS (iPhone)? Be honest.

     1. Works well only with other apple devices.
     2. You can't fix it by yourself, if you do it, the phone will start to have problem with random functionalities
     3. It's expensive
     4. It is so closed that you can't have alternative marked
     5. Publishing app on iphone is costing 100 euro per year! A big cost for many developers that probably will never earn a penny from their app.
     6. They willingly maliciously comply with law (look at recent sideloading issue with eu..)
     7. etc.

     @nixCraft Why would i downgrade my experience just for some petty status symbol phone? Android far surpasses IOS in both features and opensource availability.

     You'd literally have to give me the phone for free (including cell service) for me to use IOS and even then Id just sell it and buy a new Android or two.
