pls dont kill me…

im just curious, in 2023 what exactly does ios have over android.

the only two things i can think of is the longer support and apple ecosystem.

otherwise androids just have far far more features than ios does.

can anyone help me understand if theres more to it or if thats it.

    Define feature

    Is having an IR blaster (android) an actual feature to you? Is making some avatars like memoji, or use emojis as 3d filters on video calls (ios) an actual feature to you?

    Noone can just make a list with all ‘features’. There are so many of them, on both iOS and Android, useful or useless, it always comes to preferences.

    Since most of this sub would probably be iphone users since always (like me) we cant really know all the features on Android, to compare them. Some iPhone users dont even know all the features of iOS.

    The only practical thing i can say about iOS is the integration and finish of the features. As we all know all the features in this world first appeared on Android, but when Apple makes them, they become standards in phone industry

    If all you want is a list of iOS’s advantages, I’ll try:

    • iMessage and Facetime (they are literally what a phone needs to be an iPhone, biggest advantage imo)
    • (smooth and easy integration in) Apple ecosystem
    • consistency
    • a more controlled enviorment for the devices as in available apps / accesories (yes, ‘limited’ but safe, thats why it comes to preferences)
    • cameras, in the right hands
    • security (bash me for this one as much as you want, sideloading and jailbreaking are not for the average user, so they cant get malware on their iOS even if they tried to)
    • homebar, dynamic island, silence switch/action button

    and as advantages to iPhone itself

    • hardware and its integration
    • resell value
