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?

I don’t care at all about the bubbles. I don’t use iMessage at all, 0.
Genuinely curious how the price works out to be less?
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.
Overall I ended up changing a couple of Android devices within the same time frame that I’d be using a single iPhone. I have an XS which is a ~5 years old device and will get the 17. And it’s still a very capable one.
When you say there isn’t anything close to an apple watch what features are you talking about? Because I have so far not heard a convincing argument for an apple watch instead of something like Garmin.
Maybe if your main use case is as an activity tracker, you’re probably right. But for me it’s a phone extension. I think Garmins are mainly sport watches with some smart features and the Apple watch is the opposite. Calling someone using siri, or doing things with siri in general are features I use all the time. Apple watch for me is a phone that I can use when cooking and taking care of a toddler at the same time without ever touching it. Garmin simply can’t do it. Alexa is not that great and the general integration is obviously not as good as Apple.
