I don't have much to contribute to the conversation except to say I don't have any idea why you're getting downvotes. I've never used any iOS device (and in fact I'm a late adopter of smartphones in general) but I've heard some of why people prefer iOS over Android. Mostly just that Android's got a reputation among some folks for being "poor people phones." Meanwhile, I had no understanding of the appeal of the walled garden kind of locked down approach that governs iOS (at least a little) more than Android. It's interesting to me to understand a bit better, and this post did that for me.
Yes, Apple is trendy among most crowds. It's like what black champion sweatshirts were to college kids.
But I will agree it's perfect for the low to average technical background person. You don't have to worry about a password manager, a decent one is build in, you don't have to worry about a messaging app, a good one is built in. I believe the term is "it just works". There's no way I'd suggest something different for say my Mom, it's perfect for her. With a little tutoring she has secure passwords sets for all her sites and did it all herself. I doubt she would of been able to accomplish that with any other system.
But then that leads to the problem that she likes it so much that she doesn't want me to change and leave her ecosystem that she's so proud of figuring out lol.
