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.

Besides what you said, smoother animations on iOS, face id (compared to fingerprint) and camera I like better, but that’s subjective.

Other than that, android is a far superior operating system. Besides things it simply does better like notifications and device input (keyboard, cursor management, copy&paste) android simply has more features available.

If you will notice people who say iOS is better, other than what I mentioned they can’t have concrete examples, they say passwords, “it just feels better”, “it just works”, “its more polished”. But it’s easy to give concrete examples of the advantages of android:

Just a few examples of features android has and iOS doesn’t: true caller id support, notification history, separate alarm and call volume, control over messaging app which gives abilities such as automatic spam filtering, notification history view, infinite call history log, can sort camera images automatically into a dedicated folder/album (this one is a mess in iOS), controlling different types of notifications per app, consistent back gesture, and the list goes on…

Also most things you want to do can simply be done with less steps and friction on android. There are many examples but one example is if you get a notification from an app, you can get from this notification straight into the notification configuration of this app.
