I am a sucker for music and i listen to it all the time, and i am very impressed by the Sound quality of speakers on my Iphone 13. They sound like a mini sound bar. I can hear the low end very well and it gives a great output. I also admire the display and consistency in UI. Apart from this, the audio recording quality is also amazing. You can record a song on your iphone and the Quality of vocals is better than my USB condenser mic worth 4k INR. What do you like about Iphones.
Loving Shortcuts, and loving USB C
simplicity. I tried a google pixel and it’s just too complicated for me, maybe i’m just not advanced enough 😭
Not bloated with crappy apps I can’t uninstall like the Samsung phones. I owned S22 for 4 hours and then got an iPhone.
The home button
The fluidity of transitions of what is on display and no lag. That’s just about it. I’d be glad to stay in android if it could do the same thing.
95% of the time they always work yes it has its moments it might glitch but I know my iPhones in and outs and I know if my life depended on it I can trust it.
iMessage and the Apple ecosystem as a whole
iMessage, 6 years of software updates, quick and responsive and extremely reliable after 5 years since release (my current XR), FaceTime, on the forefront of new ideas, ecosystem mentality and tightknit connectivity between apple products.
Sturdy! I dropped my phones sooo many times. Never had the monitor cracked or phone become funny.
I just realized Apple Music sounds waaayy better than Spotify. I’m now with 13pm and have been using iPhone since 4s. I used Spotify for some time then started to notice difference in sound quality with Apple Music.
One other thing for the new OS is voice isolation when taking calls using headphones. Life saver when you are working outside and have to join a meeting.
The price
I really enjoy the operating system. It’s easy to use, and it’s fluid.
I like the camera best.
They’re stable as fuck. I just went from an 11 to a 15 and I wasn’t all that impressed with my 15 bc the 11 was that good. The 15 is solid too don’t get me wrong. In the past, my androids were always gimmicky and filled with bloatware. None of that crap on the iPhone. Plus the apple ecosystem just works. Again, stable as fuck.
iOS, how it works with my MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods, MagSafe, just the polish overall. I used an S23 Ultra and it was good, but I still preferred my iPhone 14 Pro and ultimately I ended up selling the S23 Ultra.
I own both an iPhone and an Android phone. However, I would always pick iPhone as my daily driver even if i dislike Apple’s business practices.

Update support.

Apps seem better on iOS than their Android counterpart. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if developers are prioritizing iOS first. Last time I worked on Android app dev, it’s nothing but frustrating and constantly battling the tools. Or the need to rewrite something because Google decided that this API is “deprecated”.

No bloatware. Too many Android phones have preinstalled apps that cannot be removed or disabled. The only way to get a clean experience is to use a custom ROM.

Universal compatibility. To give some examples. If you buy an Android from another country (Asia) and you bring it back to your home country (US). There’s a chance that your phone may not support certain frequencies. On iPhone, this is a non-issue. Each variant sold in different regions will still work. It might be missing specific band or two used in the country but you’ll still have wide coverage. Therefore, iPhone is the best choice as a travel phone.
Another example. In Japan, if you want a digital version of the Suica card. It’s best to use an iPhone. From what I researched, only Android phones sold in Japan have a specific NFC chip that is compatible with the IC readers over there.

I’m not sold on the idea of privacy on iOS but it’s certainly better than having Google spying on you. This goes alongside with #3 as well.
