Because I get a phone that is updated and working for more years. I’m not buying a $1,000 smart phone every two years. Still on a XR and it works great. Was on a 6 before that. And then a 4 before that. They last a long time if you don’t drop/step on them.

I used to use an iPhone simply because of the jailbreak community. When it became increasingly slower for a jailbreak to release I jumped ship. I got on iPhones around the time of iOS 7 and got off around 11.4.
