Switching cost
The Apple iPhone 16 runs iOS. Leaving it behind means leaving iMessage, FaceTime, AirDrop, Continuity, iCloud, Apple Intelligence. Our switching advisor prices that friction into the recommendation instead of comparing spec sheets in a vacuum — it is the reason a phone that wins on paper can still be the wrong buy.
