I’d rather buy an iPhone instead of a shitty clone that won’t receive updates after 3 years.
You need to look more carefully and androids because there’s plenty that are not clones. Very few all clones so you appear to be selecting for your own bias
If you’re looking at only midrange then sure. Otherwise only Sony is still offering headphone jack on their flagship. Go to GSMarena and see for yourself.
And when it comes to UI, Android is constantly dumbing itself down with no option to opt-out. Remember 9 button layout from however many moons ago that was replaced by thick ugly blocks?
When did Apple release their Foldy phone? An Android manufacturer (spacing on the name) is already getting ready to release a tri-fold phone
In any case, iPhone and Android copy each other all the time. Sometimes it’s Android copying iPhone and sometimes the opposite, it’s just the way it goes in the smartphone industry
It never ceases to amaze me how iPhone users think a bump in a version years down the road, keeps them secure while the browser in iOS needs whole god damn system update to upgrade.
You wait for that patch for a Safari vulnerability for whenever Apple feels like it but Android devs can push patch and deploy within days or hours. And also sideload it, if a really important fix would take a long time through regular channels. And also there’s more than 1 browser engine on Android, so all users aren’t vulnerable to the same exploit at the same time.
But hey, keep on swallowing that Apple marketing wholesale though.
Google also split Security Updates from main OS updates so that they can control and push them independently of the manufacturer. So you might miss out on fancy features from Android XX or whatever, but at least vulnerabilities will continue to be patched
What good will they do when all Android manufacturers are trying to copy iPhone? No headphone jack, no expandable memory, no removable battery.

or 10x physical zoom, punchthrough cameras, USBC…
In a lot of ways, iphone just copies android. They are just better at marketing themselves
USB C was mandated by EU. 10x zoom is simply iPhones trailing nehind Android phones.
im saying that the android broke ground and got there first on all of these, while the iphone likes to pretend its cutting edge.

Funny how my reply to this dimwit comment was removed but telling me to swallow Apple marketing wholesale is totally a-ok.
Fuck mods.
