I love getting new phones, both cheaper models and more expensive ones.
I'm partial to Samsung Galaxy phones myself, which is your favorite type of phone to get? Samsung or iPhone?
I have bought iphones the last few times for my own personal use but I've been thinking about buying an android when I'm due for one again.
Do you like how Apple limits some features on their phone? I'm always curious about the reaction to lack of earbud ports, and feelling on airpods?
That is one thing I really don't like about apple. Another is that the app store doesn't have as much variety of apps as the andriods do. And we all love our apps!
Yeah, Apple is super restrictive with apps, cross compatibility, peripherals, etc. THAT is also one of the largest reasons that I've never gotten an iphone. They have awesome exclusive app partnerships, but I cant recall any real app standouts that are still exclusive. 
That is how I'm starting to feel! Also I love how the androids now have split screen mode! That is really a great feature that Iphone doesn't seem to want to adopt.
I've only ever been a faithful Android user...aside from overall more indepth access to settings, and all that...I feel like I have slightly more control to customize my experience. Split screen mode is great, but I'm sure Apple can/will add it...a bigger issue I guess is whether a specific APP has compatability for split screen mode. The greatest and most common sense feature on an Android is the "undo/back" button...Control Z anyone? lol 
In the past I have used androids but it has been around 6 or 7 years since I've regularly used an iphone. I'm thinking it is time to switch back. Android has done so many changes in the last few years I've been parted from it.
That's awesome, I'm glad you're open to it. I believe in brand loyalty and all, but it's refereshing when you understand it comes down to features, and that most people overpay for the same or less features. For instance, I'm still confused why iphone has a static weather icon, instead of a widget?
Yes, iphones are so expensive for having so many app restrictions and so less awesome features like android has at this point in time. Now I'm anxious to look for a new phone. haha
I will say that there are awesome Android phones, but Samsung for instance has really diversified their main phone line...it's no longer just ONE phone as the latest model 12 for instance...it's confusing, so definitely get some referrals and assistance at the cell carrier. Happy phone hunting!
I will definitely be checking out all the different models out there! I have learned a lot today!
