Question

Getting a new phone... iPhone or Samsung?

Oct 11, 2018 6:19AM PDT

I have an android phone and I'd like to switch to iOS, so I planned on getting an iPhone 7. But now I found a AWESOME deal for the Samsung Galaxy S9. I simply don't know what to do. Am I going to regret getting the iPhone 7? Please help... Thanks in advance!

Current the iPhone 6 and a Moto G 5th gen. I've very agnostic except when there's a problem. Currently I forget my answer to a security question for the apple and can't sell my old iPhone 5s so this is a ding against Apple. Might be too secure.

My brother's iPhone 7 just died. Not totally dead but

Good as dead. The Apple store told him the antenna (module?) died. It's about 320USD to exchange it so he went all in for a new 10.
