I'd say, "Look, you used to have two to three main players in the market and, now, there's only two. Apple or Android."
"With Android you can do whatever you like but the notifications and app access may just turn your phone into a pile of slow, awful, terrible rubbish so be prepared to learn a little!"
"With Apple you do it their way or no way at all. You cannot just plug your phone, into a computer, then drag and drop files. Forget that. But it's a small tad bit easier!"
I use a huawei Mate 10 pro and iPad pro. Owned a load of Windows mobiles as well so I'm okay with all platforms.
