    I just love that every year the haters gonna crawl out and post their spec sheet cope.
    Like yeah you got 120hz refresh watching a 30fps video, draining nearly 4x the power if not for adaptive framerate - so 120hz for nothing. Same with all high res audio and USB3. Fact is for 99.9% of everyday users those things aren’t beneficial and are solely existent because the android market is more competitive and devices have to stand out somehow. Apple has their UX and iOS as a unique selling point and with their enhanced privacy and long software support that’s the premium you pay not just for the hardware but mostly software (ignoring the „we are a premium brand tax“)

      Most high refresh rate screens on a phone will adjust dynamically to the use-case as to not waste battery.

      Apple’s big selling point is the Apple ecosystem and their familiar UI to the phone market, If you’re an new player trying to take market share, it only makes sense that you copy their UI.

      That being said, use whatever works for you.

      Except that users very much want those. They may not no the features by name but they will notice they are missing. Also iOS is totally locked down and Apple exclusive. It might be fine if iphones were a cheap brand but they aren’t
