Are iPhones really worth the money or is it just a hype?
Apple is a very well-known company and needs no introduction. iPhones have been widely popular, and it has successfully captured a huge customer base for itself. The opinion on iPhones have always been two-fold. Either you love it and think that it is worth the money or you are one of those who would rather stick to Android and thinks that iPhones are too expensive and follow through with the kidney selling jokes. iPhones and kidney jokes go hand in hand.
I have been an Android user as well as an iPhone user. Therefore, I think I am equipped enough to write on this. However, I switched to Apple almost a decade back and have never went back to Android ever since. There are a few basic things in an iPhone that goes beyond just the money. The experience of it is what counts the most. Apple’s ecosystem strength is amazing. The quality of the Apps on the AppStore is extremely effective while offering the best of user experience.
The overall OS is very refined and everything that fits together perfectly. There are services such as FaceTime and iMessage that are very efficient. Microsoft had come up with similar kinds of features, although it got difficult for those apps to receive the same kind of acceptance.
Whenever you ask a person as to why they prefer iPhones that are so expensive than the cheaper Android phones and I bet, most of the times, the reply is the same “ They are extremely easy to use, and I don’t think I’ll be able to use an Android phone after this”. And honestly, I too belong to this category of people. I find iPhones extremely easy and smooth to use and everything is just a click away.
Personally I think, iPhones have the best camera and with an array of extra features in it like the slow motion, Time lapse, Burst Mode. Along with this, the Build quality of iPhones are really good, and it is a proof that the iPhone is built with a lot of attention that has been paid to the minutest details. Also, what iPhone can do with just 2GB of RAM, Android phones would need 4GB/octa-core processors for the same.
I really do think that iPhones are totally worth the money if you are seeking for the best of user experience along with the best of design and look of a smartphone. My experience with iPhone has always been excellent, hence I have stuck to it for over a decade now. If you are looking for buying an iPhone, the latest iPhone launched is the iPhone SE (2020) and that is worth taking a look at.
