I don't know how you guys feel about Ios and its bigger brother ipadOS which is basically a bigger ios with a few tweaks
for the price of these devices, which is extremely high, especially in EU where an iphone 14pm/ ipad pro 12.9 128gb would cost literally 1500 euros, I find the OS rather underwhelming
while ios does many things better than android , it isnt that amazing in itself, and lacks a lot lot of features.
same goes for ipadOS, i'm not saying that it should be a mac replacement, but windows management is a joke, so are background tasks, files.app, file system (sandboxing) etc etc . and unlike on macOS , you cannot used third party apps to "fix" apple crap, given how little permissions apps get on ios
what makes apple platforms good , imho, is how amazing third party apps are
-new features get pushed out faster than on android, even google's own youtube which got 1080p premium bandwidth while android is left in the dust
-apps are way more polished and beautiful, with little tweaks and attention u don't see on other
-they make good use of hardware (lidar for example, while TOF sensor on android never got a single good app making use of its 3d depth mapping)
Which kinda pisses me off given how apple disrespects third party devs (apart from giving them good SDKs and APIs to work with)
-making them wait sometimes a month or more before accepting updates
-forbidding in-app purchases to redirect to their own site, forcing app store purchases/subscriptions in order to get even more money by charging 15/30%
-on top of that, if a dev wants to push an app through the app store, he needs to pay a 100$/year license,even for indie/alone dev , which is enormous
