IPhones lack: privacy, open source, control by the owner (IE, you), customizability, cutting and bleeding edge tech, freedom, fair pricetag for the hardware received, options over look and function.
"But, Moss, you numbnuts! Google is far from private!" True. But with the freedom granted by the Android ecosystem, I can choose to buy an Android device that can (without the hassle of jailbreaking) have it's OS replaced with a privacy-respecting variant of Android (CalyxOS or GrapheneOS on a Pixel phone, for example). While on an iPhone, all I can truly run on it is iOS. To be fair, once Signal can natively run (as in, not in browser) on a Linux phone, such as the Librem or PinePhone, with proper push notifications, my Android is being replaced.
