So people really try and convince you to change phones?
Why?
Its a classic example of banter that people take too seriously.
It's really commonplace for phone brand/OS to be used as an icebreaker, like "eww why do you use android/apple" and then jokes ensue. Others took that stuff too seriously and it became an actual characteristic they like/dislike in people. Its silly really but for most its light hearted banter based on what happened in the early samsung/apple smartphone days.
For example at my work I get astronomical amounts of shark for not being an apple user, and its nothing more than light hearted work [place banter, and I get immense satisfaction firing the shark back when their iDevices don't do something.
Its the same as the PC Master Race. To most its an ironic joke, to a handful of users who missed the memo its a fact.
