These are bad reasons. Top of the line Android phones generally have better/faster launching cameras than the top of the line iPhone and don't have bluetooth broken.
Even some mid-range Android phones would probably outperform the iPhone X in these two areas.
Valid reasons to switch to an Apple product (in my opinion) are
- Privacy
- Better App Ecosystem (arguably, for both MacOS and iOS)
- Faster Processors (for iOS)
- Better idle battery life (for both)
- Battery Life in general (for MacOS)

So I have a pixel 2 XL and I can attest for the camera taking upto 3s to load on average. This has been progressively getting worse with each OS upgrade (no way I am upgrading to the "AI" OS). My iPhone 3GS actually ran for a good 5 years and though "hot" apps werent fast, the default apps were as zippy as they were the day the phone was bought. Somehow Google doesnt seem to care about this!

I take more photos now that I can just pick the thing up to a powered-on screen--I guess it uses some gyroscope and accelerometer magic--and swipe from the right.
- My Bluetooth audio has been broken for years. There's a discussion forum topic about this, but Google doesn't listen.
- Starting the camera app takes about 3-5 seconds. In most cases, this is enough time to spoil the entire photo-moment.
Edit: it's also the fact that Google allowed these problems to exist in the first place.
