That's why I avoid apple products. I don't want to get sucked into an ecosystem where my choice of what product to buy is so limited.
I wouldn’t worry about it. You can make things work just as well as android phones work with everything else. AirPods work with android phones and you can sync data through google apps, etc. just as well on iphone. I have both and android (Pixel) and iPhone and don’t feel “sucked in” to anything.
The main difference for me is that iphones have been more durable. I went through three Pixel upgrades, two times there was some minor hardware issue that bricked the phone. The one I have now had a cracked screen - even though I got a tempered glass screen protector and always keep it in the case. If my iPhone gets bumped around I don’t need to worry. With my second Pixel I dropped the phone four feet onto linoleum ( not a super hard surface) and a capacitor came loose. It cost almost as much as a new phone to get it fixed and it was not a typical repair, so trying to even find a place to do this specialized kind of repair was going to be a hassle.
For me knowing that my phone isn’t just going to spontaneously break is a big factor.
It feels like gambling to me when other people drop their phones, I somehow drop mine about 5-6 times a day and the only thing breaking is the screen protector
So far I've had 6 phones each for around 3-4 years average. Only dropped my phone once ever so I'd say the odds are very much in my favor.
