I love Android and I hate to say it, but Apple will eventually win

Side view of of iPhone 17 Pro including programmable action button at the top.

I'm an Android user. Have been for years. I love the customisation, the freedom, the fact that I'm not locked into a restrictive ecosystem. But here's the thing: Apple's going to win this war. Not tomorrow, not next year, but eventually. And it's not because they make the best camera phones. It's because they're not a tech company. They're a fashion brand.

I know, I know. They make computers! They invented the smartphone! Sure. But similarly, you could say: Nike makes running shoes. Adidas makes sportswear. But nobody honestly believes those brands are in the business of athletic performance. They're in the business of making you feel a certain way when you wear their stuff.
