I wouldn’t say the iPhone per se is addictive - it’s the smartphone in general.

Probably most of the world owns at least a smartphone these days, and it keeps us connected to stuff we do all day - phone calls (a lot of people don’t have landlines anymore), social media, email, running a quick web search for something, etc.

The iPhone / Android is the brand you prefer to use.

For me, I’ve always been on iPhone, but I’ve had to assist customers and colleagues with issues on their Androids over the years. Any smartphone is easy enough to figure out the basics, no matter which brand you own; I just don’t care for Android’s UI that much. I like the way iOS handles things better. Is it perfect? Of course not. Are there features from Android that would be nice to have? Sure. There’s also being on an ecosystem and having spent a lot of money buying apps over the years that tends to keep me from switching, even if I wanted to.

Fantastic design and materials.

And iOS is done in good taste.

I happily give up some customization for optimization. I know all my apps will work and are built for a smaller line of iOS devices than thousands of different android models from tons of companies.

On Apple “it just works” and they worth more to me.

Cuz everything is better in iOS, that’s an undisputed truth, everything looks better, everything works better, everything feels better, everything sounds better.

Android is catching up lately, and I certainly hope it does, because competition is good for the users.

I wouldn’t call it addictive for me, but I prefer it as I’m comfortable with it and it takes care of my needs/wants.

Passed to iPhone (14 promax) some weeks ago from a glorious redmi11

I feel like the user experience is so much more comfy and fluid, addictive if you play games i guess?

I use iOS and One UI (Samsung’s version of Android) on a daily basis, and don’t really think one OS is better or smoother than the other. they’re completely different, but both really good in my opinion. There are certain features on each that I prefer but not enough so that I have a strong preference between the two. I don’t use a lot of social media apps and prefer web-based Facebook when I have to use Facebook but I do think Instagram is better on iPhone. I prefer the back universal back button on one UI and miss it when I’m using my iPhone. I hadn’t really thought about one being more addictive then the other, perhaps because One UI also has really great features and seems addictive as well,at least for me.😅

Because android is playing catch up with the UI, they didn’t really start honing in until around 2016-17. Apple with iOS was and is UI focused.

It kind of feels simplistic and easy to use. Its neat visually.

I think it’s cuz of the graphic idk 😂😭

I find android to more addictive. You have the freedom of customization with just about anything you want. I actually prefer using iPhone because I don’t use it as much because it’s boring lol.

I switched from Android to IPhone last week after 10 years of using Samsung devices. I feel that I was much more addicted to Android as I was constantly tweaking things via launchers, widgets, settings etc.

Since migrating to iOS, I feel that everything is just in place and I’m only really using the phone to text, use social media and watch videos etc. Overall I’m spending LESS time on my iPhone, but the time I’m spending on my new phone is much more focused and useful.

TLDR: Spent more time fucking around tweaking Android than iOS and am much better for it

Because it’s smooth

Android is more fun to try out all the free stuff, plus side loading is super fun.
iPhone i like the quality of the apps better… but my phone is barely played now.

When I switch to apple I had a blast for the first year trying all the new stuff to me.
Now… it’s just a camera, phone and chat machine

It’s an omen of good taste and welcoming into the life of an extraordinary gentlemen, also you may now understand why a small percentage of women show no interest in men that use non iPhones.
