> There's nothing different or even superbly superior of the Apple experience compared to the Huawei or Samsung experience.

Absolute horse crap, unless you speak for the market. I don’t have to carry two phones and also don’t have to worry about privacy. In fact I have a phone made by a company who could really give two craps about the ad market and feeding it more data. Second is you can be sure if it’s Apple you’ll get quality. With other android phones you’ll get mostly cheap. The user interface style on android is also ugly, cards are old, material is boring, but this is subjective, just like you saying Apple provides no better experience than Samshit or Chinawei

The privacy of an Apple phone that allowed the Saudi prince to order a hacking into Bezos' phone, which ultimately leaked out info and led to his divorce? Yeah, no thanks.

Being on Blackberry, or any non-Google phone really, allows me to segregate my really important stuff from my every day stuff. Equating Apple's security to that kind of segregated security is a bunch of absolute horse crap.

Here you go, read how this worked: https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Expression/SRsSumexFr...

TLDR, if your phone passes network traffic then it can be “hacked” too.

Security through obscurity is also horse crap, but hey carry your two phones if it makes you feel safer!
