iOS may support longer but older versions of iOS stop supporting a lot of apps while many apps on android work for like android 7 and above or something like that. And to use the ecosystem you need to fill Apple’s pockets with cash and buy more of their products. They have premium hardware but honestly most people use a case so that doesn’t offer many advantages. And yeah no advantage over android is the answer. You can say iMessage but RCS exists on android and also most people just use WhatsApp or telegram or some other messaging platform.

And for the love of god green bubbles exist on iPhones not androids. Tried talking to my friend after buying my first iPhone on iMessage. It had green bubbles. He told me to activate iMessage from settings. Then the bubbles became blue. Made me realise apple is just brainwashing people into thinking that android has limitations lmao.

Apple loses as soon as they step out of their own turf while android can work with basically anything.
