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!
