I dislike Apple alot, stupidly Expensive, more than they devices worth, very restrictive on what you can do with them (treat their customers as kids) and their monopoly.

There is also a wide variety of Android phones with different price ranges, and features (like my beloved headphone jacks), wider customisation and a somewhat better repaiability sometimes.

things I dislike about Apple + things I like about android = preference.

I agree with almost everything you've said, but how do you consider Apple a monopoly?
