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.

    There are still pros and cons. I use both for specific reasons.

    iOS > Android

    1. On-screen fingerprint on Android just doesn’t work for me, even with the Face detection thing was turned on. It fails more…so I always end up using the pattern or number pin code…with Face ID, even with surgical masks on, ios can detect in a snap.

    2. Android’s camera loads so slow from lock screen. I can quickly pull out my iPhone from my pocket and still get the shot. With Android, even the latest model, couldn’t beat it. I’d surely miss the moment. (I always carry 2 phones with me)

    3. Clarity of camera (good lighting) if you’re into pixel peeping. Android wins on night shots tho, no doubt. Sunset/sunrise, too. iOS tops for diffused lighting/portraits. Perfect skin tone, no adjustments. Androids make skin tones a bit reddish and wipe out impurities (probably in the settings which you have to tweak for the first time I guess)

    4. I get more typo on android keyboard for me. I feel like the touch screen (target?) isn’t as precise as on the ios’. Sorry not familiar with terms

    5. Apple Shortcuts. Automate. Sample use case: when you charge your phone it goes on low power mode, turns off wifi and data to charge faster. Less heating up It can program calculations (sample use case: price costing on the go. Input cost, it’ll provide different tiers of selling price with its margin) which you have to use third party apps for Android.

    6. IMO iOS has a cleaner interface. Minimal. It just displays what you need. Not much on customization (personal preference)

    7. GPS!! I use the same phone network and the Android always mess up with the directions on way out of some village. It gives me different directions as it redirects to another road…which i rarely encounter with ios.

    8. Probably the best part is I can use Android to charge iOS since Android has a longer battery life even with the mobile data turned on 24/7. I haven’t tried to charge the other way around since the iPhone always drains out first.

    9. Screen resolution. The color tones on 4K movies on Android messes up the colors!! Too red skin tone. With iPhone, nothing to tweak.

    10. Android wins on having built-in pens to write notes or fill out and sign quick documents.

    I could list so much more lol I use iOS as my main. Android for company phone.
