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.

Face ID is superior than on any other android. When I switched to iPhone I was concerned how will I manage without fingerprint sensor, but this thing turned out to be waaaay better.
Although many people hate notification center, I actually really like it. You can read ALL messages someone sent to you without opening them, while on Android it shows just like the last 2-3. It helps a lot if you ask me.
Apps auto-update. You don’t get those boring notifications “Reddit and 20+ apps are ready to update” like on Android.
Everything is just a bit more fluent. You don’t have extra steps and questions for everything like on Android (eg. Do you want to open document with: Word, Google Docs, Google Drive…). iPhone just opens it straight away, and that’s what is important.
GPS and location services just work better than on my previous Galaxy S20.
On 15 you have noise cancellation for calls.
It’s better optimized, hence battery lasts longer.
Screen rotate sensor is WAAAAY better on iPhone. I never had a problem that screen randomly turned horizontally like on Samsung. It turns when it really needs to.

To add:

On Android, apps install their own notification services to the device which constantly checks for notifications from the developer's server. Which is honestly bloat.
On iOS, developers need to set up their notification servers so that they push notifications towards an Apple server, and then the Apple server handles the rest of the process by sending it to the correct device. Which in result only requires a single "notification daemon" running on an iOS device for the entirety of apps, which also in turn is safer because the process is purely on the hands of Apple.

What? Google Cloud Messaging, Firebase handles them on Android.
