I used Android for many years. I got to the point where I didn’t care about or want to customize my phone anymore.

I was tired of my Android phone feeling like it was falling apart after a year.

I have enough things to think about, troubleshoot, and tinker with…I don’t need my phone to add to that list.

Which phone brand did you use where it was falling apart after a year? The rest of your comment sounds like you're saying you preferred the iPhone because it takes the option of customizability away from you entirely, instead of simply sticking to the level of customization on Android that worked for you.

Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC EVO 4g, Motorola Droid.

I used to do all kinds of things…tether to my laptop without it being supported in my data plan, torrent, etc.

I also got tired of the platform skins depending on the manufacturer.

If I’m not going to utilize the customization of Android, then I might as well go with the more consistent and refined experience out of the box.

Also iMessage! Hate to say it but my social group is primarily iOS so the experience is superior.

Might as well disqualify the iPhone for not having an Instagram app or a file manager if your frame of reference is 2010.

Sharing your opinions without first prefacing they're 12-17 years out of date is disingenuous

for my case, my S21U's back literally fall apart, not the battery issue, the glue just simply gave up
