  • certain android phones have better cameras
  • I don't know about CPUs, but that's kind of a non-issue as phones are very fast anyway, even the low-budget ones. I'll bet there are android phones with higher performance though.
  • face unlock has got to be the dumbest way to secure your phone. All one has to do is point the damn thing at your face and it's unlocked
  • MagSafe is a weird thing to list. Wireless charging kind of makes it redundant, right? Plus there are aftermarket usb-c adapters to have the exact same thing.
  • no one uses iMessage outside of the USA
  • emojis? Seriously?
  • I'll give you the updates one, it's easier to update hardware that's trapped in a walled garden
  • animations?
  • iOS has some very high quality apps, I'll give you that one too

All of the above doesn't really matter though. I have an iPhone for work and I just hate the user interface. It's just very inefficient and clunky. The worst thing is how it's so difficult to get some real ad blocking going. Also, the feeling of being trapped in their ecosystem has an almost claustrophobic effect on me.

Google sucks a big dick too however, just like the internet itself does. I'm really contemplating on going back to a feature phone soon.
