I dropped $1400+ on iPhone 14 (with the apple care thing), but TBH I was disappointed, iOS/iPhone used to be ahead of Android in terms of OS and usability.
Now it just felt like the hardware is wasted on iOS.
I still have the old Android phone, and instinctively use that rather than dealing with iOS. Next device is definitely going to be an android.
its $799. Also if you are an apple fanboy you probably have a 13 or 14 which you can trade in to bring your total price to <$400. Not a crazy tab for something you use 40 times a day.
