1. iPhones will always have better app development due to the fact that there is less hardware to design for. While variety of hardware is great for android users in some circumstances, it’s a nightmare for developers, the variation in screen size, camera quality, processors, memory, to account for often leaves developers having to nerf apps to reach a wider audience, or drop support for a lot of outdated phones. This is the reason why iPhones usually get new apps and updates first. This is the reason android didn’t get instagram until later, this is why android pics used to look garbage on instagram.
2. Even though though android phones have better hardware in some cases with better processor numbers, more memory, more megapixels, bigger or more cameras, more storage, iPhones usually perform above their weight or better due to fact that they have better software and hardware integration. Apple designs the hardware, and silicon, and software. Android phones get their chips designed by a 3rd party, the OS is made by google, the manufacturer makes their own skin that goes on top. So android manufacturers by nature aren’t able to maximize their hardware or software. This leads to doubling of apps, skins that slow down the hardware etc.
3. Most iPhones get 5 years of software updates, it’s been well documented some android phones stop getting the new updates after only 2 years. Imagine paying $1300 for a Samsung phone in 2018, and not getting last year’s updates, while $650 iPhones from 2015 getting the latest iOS. Apple has industry leading support for their hardware by far. A lot of the time when the new version of android comes out, a lot of Android users have no idea when they’ll get the update if ever unless they have a Google pixel. It can take months for android manufacturers to get the new OS make sure it runs with the variety of phones they have, reskin it, and seed it out to customers. Most manufacturers just don’t have the man power to do this for all devices efficiently. Which leads to phones quickly becoming outdated and vulnerable due lack of security updates. Apple also has industry leading customer service for its devices and warranties through AppleCare.
4. due to the the lack of variation between phones apple phones always have the greatest number or accessories available. From mounts for you bike, car mounts, phone cases by lv, armbands for running etc. You can’t get an lv case for you sony xperia or Samsung note.
5. Android phones and android watches synergy is garbage compared to iPhone and Apple watch.
6. due to the network of iPhones and Apple hardware, apple can release things like air tag. Airpods work better with iPhones, macbook, Apple watch, apple tv.
7. iPhones hold their resale value better

I have a habit of taking my anger out on my phone sometimes. I have a s20+ and paid more than $400 fixing the cracked screen and lcd digitizer like 2 to 3 months ago. I'm trying to be good with my future phones. I wanna give iPhone another shot this fall. I prefer pincode, pw, and fingerprint scanner.
