i just don't like iphones in general, i find them really dumbed down / limited in terms of what you can do with them. i also want a headphone jack in my phone (yes, i actually do use a headphone jack in 2018) and i don't want to worry about messing with dongles. android can be extensively customized, and it can run apps that are not from the app store. to get that kind of customization on an iphone, you'd need to void the warranty by jailbreaking it, and that jailbreak won't play nice when apple updates iOS. when an android device stops getting official updates, i can root it, install a custom ROM, and continue to get an up to date experience. meanwhile, if apple decides to stop updating your older model of iphone, you're screwed.
