iphones tend to hold their resale value for much longer compared to samsung phones though, so you'll be able to sell your iPhone 11 for a higher value later down the line when you want to upgrade. I'm not too sure about the 3rd party apps part tho. I guess you see a lot of those "models" using iphones cause a lot of them were already used to the apple ecosystem. You can criticize apple for a lot of things, but the one thing they get right is user experience. For people who aren't that interested in tech, they give something that "just works" without needing to spend a lot of time looking at manuals and stuff
