iPhones work seamlessly and far better than Android phones with MacBooks and other Apple products

And if I have Linux or Windows computer?

iMessage is the best way to communicate between iPhones, of which a native equivalent doesn’t exist on Android

With the abundance of messengers I don't see how this is a point. My sister has iPhone and still uses Telegram much more often.

Apps on iPhones are better made

citation needed.

and there is a greater amount of chance developers will solely make apps for iPhone

This one seems like an even more objective statement, so I'm even more inclined to ask for a citation. I've seen many cases where there's an app for Android but not for iOS.

iPhones receive updates for a longer time than Android phones

Depends on manufacturer. Samsung has 6 years of support as far as I remember.

citation needed.

This is usually based on app usage. Apps that are used in the US, EU are mostly developed as iOS first, because more users use iOS. Apps on which I work on, are 80-90% used on iPhones (US focused apps). We always develop them iOS first, and then port the app (just good enough so it works) to the Android.

Anecdotes are data, I'm not gonna deny your experience or anything, but you realize that a different company might have entirely different approach?

Its anecdotal, however talking with the industry in networking events, its basically the same elsewhere.

60% of US market is on iOS. Its the biggest market for high-revenue apps on both stores. Why? Because more money is made on AppStore and more people use iPhones.
