I wish I didn't need an Android phone for work, WhatsApp, Telegram, maps.

But I sadly do.

I wish I didn't need an iPhone for work, (List of every app that is also available on Android).

But sadly I do.

No sane people use iPhones where I live. It was a thing of glamorous girls and people not doing actual work for some time, but now even them I don't see with iPhones.

For me personally - as it's something I need, but not something I want to invest into, nor something I like, the Android phone I use for these things (another SIM) was almost as cheap as the dumbphone I use for calls. Comparable to groceries for a week.

I don't think there are iPhones one can buy for that price, ha-ha.
