Why not just use a Tracfone if all you need to do is 15k text messages?

I agree that your phone probably works "very, very well"... but you said
yourself you have never used an Apple product... so what are you comparing to?
I've had an iPhone since the very first model. I'm not a "wait in line for
days" to buy the latest and greatest model, but I do upgrade about once a year.
During the last 8-9 years, I've never had a single issue with the phones...
never had to "restore" or "reset to factory" or do any of those other things.
I've never had to hack or jailbreak or do any other things to my phones. During
my biggest month of usage, I sent and received over 15,000 text messages, so
the phone gets used.
I have used an Android phone... and it was clunky and just not as "user
friendly" in general. I also have several Android tablets, and they are the
same way... especially compared to my wife's new iPad Pro, which is an amazing
piece of equipment. :)

And I don't agree about screen response. My Android phone works very, very
well.

Actually, Apple is the top smartphone in the US... nobody cares about the rest

Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, Google, etc.
Take your pick of Android phone... their screen responses all suck compared to
an iPhone. :)

I don't buy Apple products. Period. I would not get an Apple product if it were

And there is good reason that most of the people on the planet use a smartphone
other than theirs.
And a Samsung smartphone is not real Android, so that is a piss poor
comparison.

I think it was you that even said "If the price was the same, everyone would be
using an iPhone"... which I honestly believe. I have used a brand new Samsung
phone with Android, and the first thing I noticed is that the screen response
is not the same as an iPhone
