> As an example, all my family use iPhones. We use PhotoStream to share pictures of family events and children and the like. If I were to switch to Android then I would lose all of that interaction, and so it's a big driver in keeping me (and other family members) on iOS.

There's always Flickr, Facebook &c. Many folks in my family use iCloud or PhotoStream or whatever it's called, and it does mean that I'm cut out of seeing those updates (because Apple are apparently unable to design a cross-platform webpage displaying pictures and text, in 2017), but I just don't care: I'd rather live without the restrictions of iOS and have the (relative) freedom and flexibility of an Android device.

I don't use Facebook. Privacy concerns are another reason why I use iOS over Android.
