If you are given an iPhone today, apart from browsing what other useful thing will you use it for?
I actually own an Iphone and an Android so I can tell a little from experience.
Very very fast, like amazingly fast and will never lag, doesn't get hot, apps don't annoyingly crash, camera is simply everything and have you ever connected your Iphone with your Mac? God in heaven knows you will never want to have anything to do with an Android again. To not forget the "prestige" that comes with Iphone.

Which Android device?
Or are tecno infinix itel not Android devices?
Remember he started talking about options available on the android platform against the iOS (iPhone) devices, my attention was drawn to where you said android is an OS while iPhone is a device but in the context op treated android as devices under the android OS.

Unless you mean iPhone is a brand then you are saying exactly the same thing OP said, the iOS is synonymous to the iPhone world but iphone is more popular with common people than iOS and unless on the hackintosh, most iOS devices are apple devices.

What I'm just trying to say is that apple and Google is a competitor in the software market (OS) but apple and Samsung and other devices are competitor in the hardware so apple is taking on two enemies at the same time.

It is safe to refer to android phones where the comparison here is Google and not the hardware company like Samsung, Itel, techno, android is not just an OS, it is a hidden network of devices so one can say android phones and then they mean phones running on the google android network against the apple iOS network.

I am not in for the superiority debate, but can someone enlighten me when they say iPhone has strong security, or android phone has less security and can be hacked...how can it really be hacked?

Do bother yourself too much with the security of both iPhone and Android phones . The are equally vulnerable.. if your device is targeted, they will find a way to break in.. it may be through a third party app or even an inbuilt app..
Pegasus and many bad guys have been doing that for years

If yes then his assertion is very wrong cos 90% of transition device don't av USB type c, flagship Samsung phones don't have headphone jack.

Bro what does the i in iOS stand for?

According to Steve Jobs, the "i" word in "iMac" (and therefore "iPod", "iPhone" and "iPad"wink stands for internet, individual, instruct, inform, and inspire.

1. Better values
If you want an iPhone, you have eight choices: the $349 iPhone SE, the $449 iPhone 6s, the $549 iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7, the $669 iPhone 7 Plus, the $699 iPhone 8, the $799 iPhone 8 Plus, and the $999 iPhone X. While the 4-inch iPhone SE may sound like a bargain in comparison to its big brothers, you can find a really great Android phone that sells for less than $349 and comes with a much bigger screen. I stopped reading when I saw when you said iPhone 6plus sells for $549

2. 3.5mm headphone jacks
All phones since the iPhone 7 lack the 3.5mm audio jack that lets you connect a pair of standard headphones. If you want to listen to music on your Apple handset, you'll have to use a dongle, connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones or buy a wired set that uses the company's proprietary Lightning connector.

3. USB Type-C charging ports with fast charging
If you want to charge an iPhone or connect it to your computer for any reason, you'll need a cable with Apple's proprietary Lightning port. Unfortunately, other than iPhones and iPads, no devices charge over Lightning, so you can't share the same set of cables with your other gear. This is ironic, because Apple's MacBooks charge via USB-C.

4. Customization, widgets and skins
Like a father in a 1950s sitcom, Apple thinks it knows what's best for you, no matter what you need or want, so it locks down the UI and offers fewer customizations than Google does. You're limited to a few select widgets. But with Android, you can choose from thousands of widgets that live on your home or lock screens and provide everything from music playback to weather and note taking, but not gonna lie official android website https://www.android.com/ looks much worse than their competitors

5. Many more hardware options, including rugged phones
At one time, Google's marketing tagline for Android was "Be Together. Not the Same." That makes sense, because the platform appears on hundreds of different phone models around the world. You can get Android phones with giant screens, small screens, modular add-ons, QWERTY keyboards and replaceable batteries.

Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha.
The only valid point here, is the prestige.

1. Speed? You can't notice any day-to-day difference except your Android is transsion.

2. Never gets hot? Which Android gets hot?
By the way, a lot of iPhones do heat.

3. Connect my iPhone with Mac? Sweetie, is Type-C a joke to you?

4. Apps don't crash? C'mon, stop using $50 Androids.

5. Camera is a nice point. However, OnePlus, Samsung, Xiaomi, Pixel and Vivo are no joke to you.

Your heavyweight champion, the 13 pro max still struggles to beat a 9 month old S21U. Let's not talk of Vivo x70, Pixel 6, Xperia 1 III and Huawei P50 pro.

Personally I think he means some high end devices, he compared different android phones and their strength, in this case a selected few which are possible competition to the iphone in one way or the other, the android OS is a splendid piece of software,

But since the hardware comes from different manufacturers it becomes complex to weigh all android phones against the iPhone as a matter of fact that's why I'm saying seeing the iPhone as a device may not be the situation here rather the iPhone in this contest is a brand.

Yes from the way op said it, he meant android devices becuase there is no way he is going to bring so many android brand together in the android umbrella, if we should go with android device then I could say let's go with apple iOS devices, iphone is not just technically a device, iPhone is a brand, so if iphone is a device, android is also a device called android phones, this brand aspect is referring to google;

For instance there is the windows device, even though Hewlett Packard (hp) is different from Microsoft, it is called windows device so android is also a device because there is no other specofic hardware elsewhere, every android phone is an android device, every iphone is the iphone brand but an iOS device.

U judge based on assumption, I judge based on his post
All I'm saying is next time he should rather say "5 reasons why Samsung devices are better than iPhones"

He picked features from Samsung, xiaomi, pixel, oppo and then combined all together to compare with iPhone? Haba that's an unfair comparison

Something is definitely wrong with you. Apart from browsing with my Android, there's no other useful thing about it.

Then, you don't know how to use an Android phone. You still need a manual or YouTube videos to know the many benefits Android comes with which you can never get on iPhone.
