Component quality, build quality, data security and privacy and length of support/updates.

No matter how much money I pay for an Android phone, I have to fight with it to stop my data being harvested by everything from the very OS up. Sure, I can get decent quality cameras and build quality on Android phones but I’m either paying a stack of money for the likes of a Samsung or I’m paying for something from some sketchy Chinese brand.

I don’t know if any android phone manufacturer has a hardware security implementation as high quality as Apple’s and even if there were, I’m not sure how many of the manufacturers I’d actually trust to build it properly, let alone have the OS use it properly.

I’ve also got far more consistent battery life out of my iPhone X than I have out of my previous Android phones.

Am I paying a premium? Yep. Is it a premium I’m happy to pay because I actually get what I want and my data is so far, more secure than on any Android device: yep.

Yup, Android is sketch and Apple apparently just doesn't want my business.

Ah well.

Well, you can still buy last years iPhone from apple for much cheaper...
