You might be surprised to hear that there are some people who love their Apple devices, but aren’t fans of their iPhones. What makes such a person choose Apple over the competition? Is it because they are loyal customers? Or maybe it has something to do with the high prices of Apple hardware compared to its competitors?
There are a number of reasons why people prefer Apple products, but could do without their iPhones. In this article, we’ll look at four of them.

The Specs That Count – 3G and 4G
First up on our list of potential downsides is the fact that people don’t always see value in getting an iPhone if they are planning on using AT&T or T-Mobile for data services. Both networks have been known for having pretty slow speeds when compared to Verizon and Sprint’s own 4G LTE network. However, since the introduction of the iPhone 5s in 2013, even those users who do not subscribe to AT&T or T Mobile can enjoy blazing fast download speeds via the faster HSPA+ (4G) technology.

No Carrier Lock In – Unlimited Data Plans
If you’ve ever had an Android phone, then you know how frustrating it can be to sign up for a new service contract only to find out that you lose all the functionality that comes along with your current phone. With smartphones like the Galaxy S7, LG G5, and Samsung Note 7, it is becoming much easier to upgrade your phone every few years since the manufacturer of these devices tends to stick with whatever carrier they are currently associated with. However, iPhone users are stuck with just one carrier each unless they want to pay extra money.

Screen Size Matters – Bigger Is Better?
If you don’t mind having a large screen, you are free to use whichever smartphone fits you best. From a simple personal preference standpoint, some individuals may choose larger screens simply because they find themselves scrolling more on smaller phones – the likes of gamers, bloggers or even online casino gamblers. Conversely, others still prefer the ease with which they can type on a smaller keyboard.

You Get What You Pay For
Although iPhones are certainly great at their price point, there are lots of budget friendly alternatives available. For example, the Nexus 6P has a starting price tag below $400. It is worth considering whether or not you could save hundreds of dollars by going with something cheaper instead.
Conclusion

There are plenty of other benefits to owning iPhones too; however, it is important to evaluate all the pros and cons before making the final decision.
