Another great post❤️. Now, I will say that as an iPhone owner the Android undoubtedly has a superior camera—there’s no denying that. For me, I chose the iPhone because I found the seamless integration of the operating system to be superior to that of the Android (I tried😫). And I certainly agree with your observation of the perceived economic societal implications of both devices, notably BEFORE Apple changed it’s pricing model and design tiers to encourage sales volume and accessibility.
The strange part for me is when people talk about seamless integration. Android is what integrates with every other platform, from PCs to cameras to worldwide operating systems. iPhone really only works within its closed environment, but if you work with Apple products, sure. But for seamless integration with the world, that's an Android operating, open-source system.
I can agree with that, as I do utilize a host of their products aside from their phone. When referencing that “seamless integration” I was certainly talking about their house of products. I’ve been utilizing apple products long before they went mainstream—initially drawn to them aesthetically. This was at a time when Windows dominated everything. The Apple operating system was certainly different, but it was intuitive; notably, because there were 3 different ways to perform every function. I was impressed, although many of the software companies weren’t even producing Apple compatible software at the time. Above all they all do the same shit: steal our data and weaponize it against us ☝🏾 It’s a mess.
I started in computers relatively early. My first job came about because of ERISA. I was a "third-party administrator of profit sharing and pension trusts". I took personnel data and put it on a sheet for a keypunch operator. I worked in Dallas and we used mainframe services in Chicago. When I came to work, I connected via telescope and loaded our "operation" into the computer in Chicago. All day we would create statements for individuals based on their company's plan and produced paper reports that we bound for each individual. I tell you all that to let you know that I grew up professionally with the ever changing personal computing environment. First I had a satchel phone, then a Blackberry. I never chose to own an Apple phone. I, like Shari, use a Samsung Galaxy. I've used a Pixel, but both brands are androids. The platform is independent of the operating system. This allows diversity in hardware and a common layer for applications. All this allows for diversity among application developers. I really liked Macintosh personal computers because they specialized in presentation software while Windows specialized in office automation. The philosophical difference in perspective meant the hardware interface to the operating system allowed Macintosh to think more visually than Windows which thought more like a magical typewriter. IMHO.

Well done as always thanks for the education

There's an autocorrect in my comment that illustrates Shari erudite explanation of the issues. I used a "teletype" not a telescope.
