Well i agree with the fact that apple pricing in India ( owing to whatever reason) is way too much.
I still use my iphone 7 for work related stuff (and i am pretty happy with it) and ipad 8th for writing my prescriptions.
I don’t find anything spectacular for my usage in apple apart from the writing experience on ipad being very good.
I am not android lover either , no matter what you do android gets heavy pretty quickly and far too many variables in the os..
So i use an iPhone and my lg g8x thinq to get by my daily personal and official stuff.
One thing i would still say that ios is polished as compared to android, and android has huge customization options in built than apple.
On the topic… I will surely like to buy a ip11 next year as that would be enough for my usage.,
PS : i also own iphone 6 plus and the first gen SE which I love for its size..
