Because it's familiar, easy, pretty and does a lot of thinking for you.
Familiar only if you worked with it before.
Easy... fair enough.
Pretty... debatable.
Apple established itself as a luxury brand. So it gives customers this "prestige feeling". That's at least my take.
Yeah, I agree. I used it for 6 months for work and it's not my thing, but plenty of people seem to love it. I guess the high price is actually a feature.
Think different, but stay the same, In Apple's world, that's the game. A touch of irony, don't you think? In a sea of similar, we all sink.
I have both an iPhone and a Samsung. Both work well but I still prefer the iPhone though it’s a 6 years old one. I’m not an expert but I feel like every app use more familiar choices for design.
