gollark: - less carrier meddling (forgot about that)
gollark: iPhones get you:- actually reliable updates (somewhat mitigated by custom ROMs)- shininess- probably higher performance on some models versus some models of non-iPhones
gollark: Oh, and there are more choices for non-iPhones, with different styles and whatnot.
gollark: Oh, and unlike iPhones, most Android (or Windows Phone, for the insane) phones don't have that stupid thing where the screen glass is fused to the digitizer or whatever it is, so cheaper screen repairs.
gollark: Those things are good?
