As far as what Apple iphone does better? Privacy, os updates, integration with my Mac, App store apps, and a bunch of other things. But that all is completely besides the point. Even if there were nothing at all iPhones do better, it's a bit absurd to go from 'well apple is not better than android' to 'people therefore only buy apple because they are shallow'

I just saw someone on HN saying how amazing Google Photos was because of its learning in the cloud.

Having not used Photos on macOS in years beyond ensuring it actually imported my photos, I opened it up and was surprised at the level of analysis it had. It made an album for each city I visited in Mexico. "Puerto Vallarta 2017" and such. Even had a "Furry Friends in Mexico" album that was all the furred beasts I met along the way.

Really well done, and all done locally on my computer.

This is the sort of thing I have no problem voting for with my dollars.

Has it been a while since you used an alternative?

All of those seem like expected features in any OS/phone.

What other phone does this?
