Wow, your bias against Apple is next level. Makes me wonder why you'd buy an iPhone 11 Pro

I use both Android and Apple and I believe both can exist at the same time and we as consumers are the ultimate winners. I don't necessarily compare between the both coz you really can't - you are absolutely right about the one thing that sets Apple apart - software. All Apple users who are integrated and invested in the ecosystem won't switch, or even if they do, it'll be tough and 9 out of 10 they might switch back.
So for me, there really is no value in an iPhone vs Android argument in terms of hardware specs, camera innovations, etc. Enjoy the best of both worlds!
haha. My other half works in Apple software development, so i also heard a lot of shit going on as well in their software. They just keep it hush hush, that's why it's a closed model.
I only changed because like i said i was using Samsung for the last 5 years, wanted something new and refreshing (but kinda regretting it now).
Anyway, you answered your own question - software. And i also like flagship phones with flat screen.
But to be honest, Huawei got kicked out of the market is a huge blow towards all consumers. For one thing, Samsung now monopolizes the android market. And also, Apple is benefiting from this (insider's market research info). When Huawei and Samsung were competing with each other, they had to be so creative and innovative and people who have been using Apple might be tempted to actually switch to Huawei or Samsung just because they could offer so much more in hardware and software too. Now it's just Samsung and Apple. So they literally can sell subpar things and market it at the highest prices because now they are kings.
Welcome to capitalism i guess.
