    It’s always interesting to see this perspective as I basically feel the exact opposite. I use an iPhone, and have an Android phone as a test device for work. Generally, my iPhone and Mac are so much easier to use together than an Android phone and Windows or Linux PC.

    Universal clipboard and AirDrop are built into the OS and way better than KDE Connect. Shortcuts is also much easier and more powerful than Tasker. Plus excellent apps like Prologue, NetNewsWire, Ivory, or Elastic Drums have no parallels on Android.

    For whatever reason, iOS users are more willing to pay for software and that makes the software available on iOS significantly better.

      I use Android and I hate drastic change, my brother switched to the apple ecosystem and is constantly showing me cool things. I’ll give Apple one thing, they know how to make their devices just work together with basically no effort. It’s something I wish Android did even half as well.

        I think that’s why it succeeds. I love Android’s abilities but I just want stuff to be reliable and intuitive above all else. Apple would fail if it didn’t have that as its main feature.
