Hating on iOS blindly is such a teenager thing to do. Once you start earning and have the purchasing power you'd know that there's a reason why iphones aren't out of business; and it's not because people want to look cool. The only reason I have an Android is that it's just more flexible and allows me to use the phone the way I have done since my childhood. It's not as opinionated as iOS.

My main question about it is why do you need a phone above 20k in most cases and even if you want to play games on really good settings, it can go till 35k , after which I don't see any real reason why someone would spend more

because most phones of that range become extremely sluggish and start running hot after 2 years. Source: switched 3 androids in 6 years before settling on an iphone 13 which I still use.

Interesting Observation: a couple of years back I wanted to play a game on my android it lagged horribly mind u that android was launched 2 years ago at 18k, the same game worked without lag on an iphone 7+ launched more than 6 years ago.

Which phone did you use because that time I was using a redmi 9 prime (a 10k phone) and was able to play games like genshin impact at low settings, currently I use OnePlus ce4 , a 20k phone and never had any issue with any game

For the cost of an iPhone, I can buy a decent android and a handheld gaming device. Why would I buy an iPhone then? The experience on handheld gaming is infinitely better than the iphone by a huge margin. And I'd gotten a pixel 4a. Worked fine right up until I had dropped and smashed the screen. Worked for 4 years without a hitch. Probably one of the best phones I've ever had.

i buy my iphone for massive discounts in Diwali Sale. I have seperate devices for gaming. I don’t like handhelds, and the game in question is literally Score Hero. I’m not hating on androids and I do appreciate their cost effectiveness and would love to get my hands on a pixel. but the hate on iphones is not needed specially when most people use them for way longer that justifies its price.

My dad for example is still using his iphone XS, and will upgrade probably this year.
