The Apple fans are going to go though denial followed by some sort of justification to buy more Apple hardware.
The problem with Apple is they make it really hard to switch to anything else.
How so? Do they hold a gun to your head whenever you go shopping?
Transitioning from Android to IPhone, is also a bitch. I had the opportunity to buy a basically new ~1k+ iPhone for $200 and just completely passed the offer because between migrating play stuff and learning apple how to be stuck in apple was just not worth it.
Android is a OS with several phone brands. IPhone is a phone, a single phone, with a single OS that works with it, iOS.
It is expected that swapping OS is a pain, what's not expected is that the whole ecosystem of all apple machines use an isolated software too.
