For me, it was way back when my Galaxy Note, over the course of a year, would repeatedly drop calls and tell me “Phone.app has crashed”. My wife’s did the exact same thing, and she even had a different carrier. After I was on the phone with a job interview and the phone app crashed, I’ve been an iPhone user ever since the 3GS and usually upgrade to the newest one every 2-3 years.

Well, your issue was Samsung, not android ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

14 pro is my first iphone. I just looked at the market and saw that there was nothing that meets my needs.

Bought the original iPhone because it was a way better phone - super easy an intuitive to manage calls and contacts.
Stayed with it the first few years because it was still a better phone, and the best smart phone.
At that point I had built a number of routines around it, like the way I use various iTunes Smart Playlists to manage my music. And over the years I've gotten into more of the Apple ecosystem, with a MacBook Pro, HomePods (Gen 1), iPads, Apple Watches, etc.
So at this point I am not cross-shopping Android or other non-Apple phones - the only decision each year is whether or not the new model offers enough to make it worth upgrading.

I personally don’t think it’s worth it for that price. So many better cases for less money.

Quality equals long term durability, which this and silicone cases lack.

I used to go back and forth between android and iPhone every few years. As I got older I just wanted simplicity and everything to work and last a long time. Apple stuff just works and lasts forever. The older I got the more a single ecosystem became more important, especially after becoming a father.

Just got a macbook for music production. There is an app for logic that allows for remote control so i figured i get an iphone instead of android.
Never used the app, switched back to windows for work. But kept going back to iphone since it works for me

I initially started with android. They were affordable, had expandable storage and generally had better specs that i cared about (bigger screen, bigger battery capacity and exciting customization) but once android phones started going up in price, i began questioning why they still stuttered, had only two year software updates, had really poor app optimization and resell value. Apple by this point released the goldillocks sized XR which was relatively cheap and had good battery life so I switched and never looked back. Now I know what "it just works" meant. I just reached my 4th year with the xr and will be upgrading to the 15 in fall.

I probably graduated at the same time as you. In Grade 12 I got my first smartphone, a Galaxy SIII, and touchwiz and the battery ended up becoming a nightmare in just a year. I stuck to the androidmasterrace for a few more years and got a Nexus 5 and then OnePlus 3 before the allure of iMessage pulled me into the iPhone world in 2018. I have upgraded just once since then to the 13 mini

That’s a pretty good reason longevity is important. I personally love the fact that iPhones last along time. As I don’t usually tend to upgrade every year. Usually every two or 3 years.

I started with a Galaxy S4 - I can't remember why but I chose that as my first smart phone and it was okay. By the time the Galaxy S6 came out I was so sick of the constant issues it was having. Mainly had issues with apps crashing all the time, battery depleting at a rapid pace if I forgot to plug it in at night, and it would randomly freeze up and I had to restart the phone multiple times a week. I was so sick of it that I decided to get an iPhone 7 when it came out. Since then, I've upgraded about every 2 years and I've never considered anything but an iPhone.

I had an iPod touch for years, then when my senior year of high school came I was able to get the newly release iPhone 5 as an early graduation gift.
As cool as it was to play on my moms Galaxy I had read and heard too many issues about them being susceptible to viruses. Most of my friends also have iPhones so iMessage was another selling feature for me

Size and OS updates.
I wanted a compact form factor phone (similar to my Sony Xperia X Compact and the phones before) from a reputable manufacturer with at least three to four years of software support.
Turned out my only options were the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 13 mini.
With Android I would have had to go at least five years back to phones which were already two major versions behind and out of support.

You are waaaaaayyyyyyyyyy overthinking this. It's a simple glitch, nothing more, and nothing to worry about. Since it hasn't happened before, assuming it doesn't happen again, everything's fine. Tech devices screw up sometimes, there was probably a glitch in the battery graph
