Funny you say that. Most content creators use iPhone for social media and to edit videos.
To be fair, Apple design decisions are Apple design decisions. It doesn't really matter where they borked their design, it is still they who borked their design.
I was using iPhone until 4 and had been an Android user for a long while. Came back to iPhone 12 because of Social Media apps which go deep into android system. Certain things (important) were much better in Android environment. I do hate call management. Either I have to delete all at once or one by one. So, finally I bought an extra Android phone only to handle social media
I watched he Google I/O Keynote! Google announced that they take all of your documents and data and send it to their Google Cloud servers to be stored and cached so that their AI model can use it! Oh, hell no!
"Android has been designed with AI at its core, and Gemini is a foundational part of the Android experience that works at the system level. There is an AI powered search bar that can be used for answering queries and looking up information, and the Circle to Search feature can be used for solving math and physics problems or getting homework help as of today."
And all that 'off-device' processing gives amazing data that can be exploited for marketing.
I hope Apple doesn't bake it into everything. I don't want an AI between me and the information/data I'm looking for. Way too much hallucination and bias in the models. At least it sounds like they're targeting on-device processing, which is vastly better.

Google's problem is the have zero vision of what they want to be as a company, so they flail all over the place trying a slew of new things that eventually get abandoned.
Apple is not doomed! Apple is laughing at Google! I bet Google wishes they did not kill Google Glass now!
ChatGPT and the like are all biased. Politically, scientifically as well. garbage. keep that AI junk away from my device. But then you have SIRI who is dumber than a bag of rocks so I guess it's an upgrade
Well yes and no. There would make no sense for Apple to follow Google if Google is going in the wrong direction.
Wait until the phone tells you it needs your clothes, your boots and motorcycle.
Apple's WWDC Developer conference is in June buddy! I watched Google's I/O Keynote today! Most of the features Google announced today are vaporware and do not launch until June anyway!
WWDC25
Join the worldwide developer community online for a week of technology and creativity.
You've been able to do that on both platforms for many years. It's purely subjective which one is better. Some started with one or the other and stick with it, others move between both, some have a workflow or feature set that one OS handles better than the other.
The reason why there's so many content creators is because of the ease with which you can do it, I wouldn't say either platform has a distinct advantage, they both do plenty, its all subjective after that.
Same thought.
"Gemini is a foundational part of the Android experience" - OK
"that works at the system level" - what?
This gotta be the funniest sh- I have ever seen lmaoo.
I think everybody and their dead aunt is oversaturated with the word AI these days, I know I'll be zoning out pretty fast if that's all they have in store.
probably this the reason why Google kills more projects/products than any other company.
they have been trying to create a competitor for iMessages, they tried like 4 different apps.
i won't buy next iPone if there no AI, i don't know what it is, but i need AI, everything should be AI.
select emoji for my response should be done by AI.
spell check AI
suggest words as i type, AI
detect things and faces in pictures using AI.
so not related to greed, engineering/design decision ?
As long as AI stays out of android open source project (AOSP) builds, it's all good. You can have android without Google; AOSP with MicroG.
Custom ROM is your friend. LineageOS is popular. I use ArrowOS on account of liking barebone OS without the bloat. My battery and processor thanks me for it.

Could be greed. Could be incompetence. Or it could just be a "lucky coincidence" that the latter helps satiate the former.
