Android has been 5 years ahead of apple since 2010
Say what you will about Apple, but they are very good at their Walled garden business model. If you want a stable device and don’t care about privacy, customizability, or the ability to install non-Apple-approved apps, it’s the best Mobile OS.
I really wish I could find iPhones sufficient. It sounds nice to just don’t care and let the phone do what it will.
Unfortunately I’d be missing out on:
- Ability to install apps from 3rd parties (or my own).
- Ability to install older versions of apps and to backup and restore apps myself.
- Ability to use third party or self-hosted services.
- Features like conversation recording (on my own terms).
- Payments without paying the Apple tax or Google tax. etc.
Every new Android version adds features that have been on iOS forever. Both OSes have different priorities.
Android will often add new features but they are poorly integrated or thought out. iOS tends to add features with a much higher level of refinement the first time around.

No shit
yes but for general people is apple that innovated first, the others are bad imitations
Are you serious? For 17 years, it wasn’t possible to place apps wherever you wanted on the iPhone’s home screen.
