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.

I don't see how that's a horrible comparison. iPhones are the BMWs in this example. iPhones are a luxury product. Androids are utilitarian.

Most people who own Android phones own lower-end phones. Compared to iPhones, the everyday person with an Android is definitely driving a Toyota compared to a BMW.

Do you think 90% of people with Androids are walking around with Galaxy S23 Ultras or Pixel 8 Pros? No, those are a small minority. This example works pretty well.

Nah, the iPhone is a Toyota Corolla. Reliable, good resale value, not a lot of bells and whistles, kind of boring, but it gets you around town. The Pro is a Lexus. Samsung is a Honda Civic, cause people like to customize it, but the base model is still reliable. The Pixel is a VW Golf: a bit quirky but fun.

Most people are Android "fanboys" aren't owning the lower tier phones. They're going to have the $1000+ phones
