I am a sucker for music and i listen to it all the time, and i am very impressed by the Sound quality of speakers on my Iphone 13. They sound like a mini sound bar. I can hear the low end very well and it gives a great output. I also admire the display and consistency in UI. Apart from this, the audio recording quality is also amazing. You can record a song on your iphone and the Quality of vocals is better than my USB condenser mic worth 4k INR. What do you like about Iphones.
I own both an iPhone and an Android phone. However, I would always pick iPhone as my daily driver even if i dislike Apple’s business practices.
Update support.
Apps seem better on iOS than their Android counterpart. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if developers are prioritizing iOS first. Last time I worked on Android app dev, it’s nothing but frustrating and constantly battling the tools. Or the need to rewrite something because Google decided that this API is “deprecated”.
No bloatware. Too many Android phones have preinstalled apps that cannot be removed or disabled. The only way to get a clean experience is to use a custom ROM.
Universal compatibility. To give some examples. If you buy an Android from another country (Asia) and you bring it back to your home country (US). There’s a chance that your phone may not support certain frequencies. On iPhone, this is a non-issue. Each variant sold in different regions will still work. It might be missing specific band or two used in the country but you’ll still have wide coverage. Therefore, iPhone is the best choice as a travel phone.
Another example. In Japan, if you want a digital version of the Suica card. It’s best to use an iPhone. From what I researched, only Android phones sold in Japan have a specific NFC chip that is compatible with the IC readers over there.
I’m not sold on the idea of privacy on iOS but it’s certainly better than having Google spying on you. This goes alongside with #3 as well.
