Problem is that the moment we entered smartphone territory, a phone became everything else BUT a phone and that's when the actual bickering about this and that really took off :|

Which phone do you have?

I don't criticize the users, but Apple has so many less features than most other operating systems and charge users, like, 3x as much for what is essentially a "pretty brick". Regardless of whether those users need those features doesn't matter, they're still essentially being taken advantage of. That is a hill I will readily die on. Samsung seems to have gone down that route too though, unfortunately.
Also, I saw on one of the comments you use iphone and while I do not respect Apple , I respect your—the user's—choice to use ios.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Samsung fanboy either, I have an Oppo—a Chinese brand (we all know how Americans feel about that 🙄) phone that I'm *super* happy with. It runs on a ridiculously watered down version of Android, and most of the American market probably doesn't even know it exists. I didn't even know it existed until I found it on a sort of find-a-phone-by-specs site and blindly bought it—so I'm not exactly in the clear from criticism. I'm okay with that because it met my 3 criteria: quite cheap, looks *really* nice, and I know it does exactly what I need it to in terms of software and hardware.

Meh fanboys be fanboys.

Same! It also happens that most reviews I see online seldom ever rate call quality (CNET, Tom's, etc). They are smartPHONES after all.

As long as phone does everything I need to do, I prefer to use older devices to prevent them from going to a landfill
