So I originally bought one due do family circumstances. A family member was in a heavily HEAVILY censored part of the world- the type of place that you can’t get emails or text messages out of. The type of place where any communication sent over their network WAS being monitored, so you had to speak very carefully.

iMessage was the only 100% reliable method of contact, so I got an iPhone and just haven’t upgraded since.
