Fairly certain these can't be done on iPhone but correct me if I'm wrong:

  • Multi window/split screen -AFAIK you can only do this on iPad
  • custom home screen/launcher: the icons on a grid both bores and overwhelms me, so I use a minimalist launcher with a few shortcuts and app drawer for the rest
  • removable SD card. Sure, storage is getting better on phones, but the ability to pop a 2TB micro SD in my phone and keep offline copies of whatever I like for times I have no service is absolutely crucial to me (SD slot depends on what phone you have ofc, some manufacturers ditched it)
  • home screen widgets
  • notifications are superior on android
  • USB 3.0 speed data transfer with no additional software, to any device that can accept a USB stick
  • third party apps and app stores
  • being able to install apps I develop for my own personal use without paying for a developer account, having to list it on the store, or having to reinstall it every few weeks
  • ability to run Firefox with extensions
  • multiple accounts for the same app without needing to log in and out
  • USB OTG
  • game emulators
  • can safely browse tor

Depending on what model and manufacturer you go with,

  • reverse wireless charging
  • headphone jack
  • ip68 rating
  • call screening
  • dual sim
