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.

To add:

On Android, apps install their own notification services to the device which constantly checks for notifications from the developer's server. Which is honestly bloat.
On iOS, developers need to set up their notification servers so that they push notifications towards an Apple server, and then the Apple server handles the rest of the process by sending it to the correct device. Which in result only requires a single "notification daemon" running on an iOS device for the entirety of apps, which also in turn is safer because the process is purely on the hands of Apple.

What? Google Cloud Messaging, Firebase handles them on Android.
