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.

    im not OP but when i switched to iphone for 6months i got a few features i was missing.

    1. being able to disable internet access for a specific app. (no ads in mini Games)

    2. USB C

    3. being able to modify my homescreen as I want. (app drawer and widgets did help a lot, but i have good eyes, I want more apps in a folder)

    4. ical in the default calendar

    5. Multiuser

    6. allways on Display (now its added, but back then it was not)

    7. disable Bluetooth or wifi for good (not only for a day), in the quick access

    8. 2 SIM cards 1 business one private (i know E-sim but its a hassle, what if my iphone goes broken and I have to recieve calls? i do not have a spare E-sim Phone)

    what annoyed me aswell was the phenomena, that allways after an update got released and I did not install it immediately, suddenly features started bugging and were fixed after Update, I smell conspiracy! (yes I restartet)

    the whole, you do not own the device policy in general bothered me so much.

    i felt like i was buying a service instead of a device. not for me. I want to own it and fix it and use it as I want. Not what Apple thinks is the way to scam me the most without it bothering me too much to switch.

    But I guess, thats the apple way. I get it, I would do it the Same if I was them.

    And to be fair. Android also has stuff that bothers me alot. here an honest list:

    Device Update Support

    Bug with opening the camera app

    Annoying GCal app

    screen cast only working 1 out of 3 Times

    apps who sometimes drain the battery for no reason

    and the annoying google news tab on some phones
