I don't understand the current fascination with Apple.  They have been playing catch-up to the premium Android phones for years now.
The current iPhone is basically Android 2015, except all of the Apple software, music, etc. is locked up in Apple's walled garden.
Anyone with any kind of technical savvy choose Android because of its customizability, ability to root, and the fact that premium Android phones by Samsung, Sony, LG, and google (pixel) have already implemented the features found in the new iPhone.
