I bought one because I thought that the camera would be better, but I'm having a hard time telling the difference between phones these days.
Also, Mini.

Integration. When I copy on my [Mac|iPhone|iPad|AppleTV] I can then paste on the other devices. When I enter the search field on the AppleTV my phone lets me type to the screen. I can transfer web pages from screen to screen if I wanna change where I'm browsing. All my devices work seamlessly with my AirPods. Etc.
Ease of use: I don’t want to even have the ability to tinker with my UI, etc. I like the fact that it’s simple and predictable. Plus iMessage is so good.
Ecosystem: iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Apple TV, Mac. They all work together and very well.
Health/Fitness: Apple actually puts effort into this category when no other Android manufacturer consistently does. Goes along with Apple Watch.
integration with the ecosystem. i have a mac, ipad, apple watch, airpods. it’s all so seamless. i can use my watch to ping my phone when i lose it in the blankets even when it’s on silent, i can copy text on one device and paste it on another, all my tab groups are on my computer, phone, and tablet and sync.
i like iOS. i had an ipod touch in the 2010s, so i’ve used it for over 10 years. i’m used to it, i know all the little tricks and shortcuts. i really like how it looks aesthetically.
magsafe. i don’t even use a wireless charger, but i have a magsafe pop socket, and it’s a game changer for me. i have small hands, and a pop socket is very convenient for me, but i don’t like that the regular ones take a lot of effort to remove, and sometimes i want my phone to lay flat, or need to remove the pop socket to put my phone in its dashboard grip. the magsafe pop socket holds strong enough to be effective, but can easily be removed when needed. unlike the pop socket that grips the side of the case, with the magsafe one my phone sits flat instead of wobbling when propped up.

I like that I don’t have to customise or complicate the phone experience. I just want it to browse and communicate. I leave customisation for desktop. Blue bubble is a plus. Same system as my wife is important. And honestly I just like iPhones inertia when scrolling. Androids don’t look or feel right to me.
I don’t want to be the guy with low res photos in the group chat
