I use iPhone because it’s supported pretty much any carrier without question. It also has support for dual sim which is a feature that I need since I have multiple phone lines. Went from needing to carry 2 phones down to 1 phone in my pocket thanks to that feature.

Having iMessage back is also nice but it was really the carrier support aspect and dual sim

For all that is holy please don’t purchase either. Save up so that you have a budget of around $500 USD to play with to get a decent machine
