I couldn't agree more. We've recently become an "all Apple" family; iMac, iPads, iPhones, AppleTV, and the seamless connectivity of the devices is stellar.

I would say that my opinion on why people are "too serious" about their smartphones is because it becomes a huge investment for us. Not just financially but emotionally as well. For me, my smartphone keeps me connected to everyone. It is the one device that I use more than any other on a daily basis. It captures precious moments, keeps me productive throughout the day, and is my main source of entertainment. It helps me find my way from point A to B. And I have access to so much information with it. So I truly learn from it all the time. So when you rely on a device as much as I do and some of the others on this forum do, you develop protective feelings about it. So when someone comes along and bashes the device that is such an integral part of our lives, it does sting a bit. As far as people persuading others to also believe that the phone that they own is the best is a little self-serving. It benefits me and others if we all used the same smartphone. Especially with iPhone users. That means you can use iMessage, and FaceTime. You have access to the same apps. And there is a sense of connectedness. So I would see how we would want others to think that out smartphone choice is the best and want to convince them to use the same device.

It's nice when we can have a pleasant discussion and disagree with each other without being disagreeable.

My phone's best! Your phone sucks! You suck! I'm a genius because of my superior phone picking skills! You're stupid for picking your phone! A curse upon you and your entire family!

Sound about right? Lol

I do sort of stick up for Apple and the iPhone when I hear people bashing them. I do jokingly try to convince them to switch to iOS, and they tell me to switch to Android. I do have some debates with people about which is best, but most people I argue with have no clue about their phones lol. They just say "Samsung/Android/Google is better!" Then I ask why and they have no reasons. I don't mind debates with Android vs. iOS, and usually we agree to disagree.

Like someone else said though, the phone we choose is an extremely important device and we do, in a way, develop feelings for it and tend to stick up for our choice. It does sound weird, but I (and I'm sure many members on iMore and other Mobile Nations sites) do it all the time

I think that not only do some people become attached to their phones, they see their phone as an extension of themselves and the choices they make. When you bash their phone, it's as if you are bashing them. I sometimes wish I didn't have the need for a smart phone and the connection it provides to the world but to me Android/iOS...it all functions great and does what it needs to do.

That's a fine looking fridge.

Phone wars are annoying. Use what works for you, toss the one that doesn't. That's all really.

I use so many different things, I laugh now when I think of the days I limited myself due to fangirlism.

One day, I'll get back to that place lol

After owning a bunch of phones and enjoying the banter about said phones, all I have learned is that the best phone ever is whatever I'm using at the moment!

That's what we've all learnt. And we're all in disagreement. It is an odd phenomenon. One for the shrinks to decipher. The only other thing I've seen this with is the pickup truck feud.
