The safest choice: I know what I am getting and Apple nails the basics that other Android OEMs just don’t. iPhones are supported for a long time, the hardware lasts for a long time and they are reliable
The Camera: The videos that come from iPhone blow Android out of the water
The apps: Basic apps like WhatsApp, Instagram and other apps have so much better interface on iPhone than Android
