I borrowed an old iphone 4 (or was it iphone 5? Can’t tell the difference) about 7 years ago when i had to send my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact in for repair). Couldn’t get it to work thw way i wanted it to. There was no way to properly configure the notifications. I think i could not have the vibration on for messages but not calls or something silly.
I also don’t like being forced to install itunes just to copy music from my computer to phone. No idea if that is still the case nowadays.
There are people who like that convenience and that’s ok.
