If you are “feature-shopping”, you may want to check out Android phones, which ship with lots of gimmicks (which they call “features”).

Apple is for quality - which is why you are still happy with your 6S. ;)

Yeah, problem is I want both features and quality. :)

I am 100% sold on Apple devices in terms of quality, reliability and privacy issues. I don't think I'd buy an Android anytime soon. I just wish they had a few more exciting hardware features.

What kind of exciting features were you hoping for? What does Android phones have that is missing on iphones? Beyond 5G which isn't deployed widely yet

I wasn't really hoping for these since it was pretty clear they wouldn't be announced, but:

TouchID sensor under the screen, getting rid of the notch, USB-C and 5G

... or something unexpected that's so innovative I couldn't have predicted it.

Galaxy Note 10+ user here. This limits the availability of screen protectors. Samsung was nice enough to include one pre-installed, but this slows down the fingerprint reader performance.

Perhaps Apple's 3rd party accessory ecosystem and their attention to detail and polish would avoid these issues.

On Android: You can set default apps for certain links (YouTube, browser, mail client, etc). You can leave spaces or add widgets to the home screen. You can plug the phone into a computer and access the file system like a USB drive. Those are all pretty nice. Of course, iMessage, Apple Wallet, and other features are nice on iPhones. Both are different and good in their own ways.

Why do you keep grilling them about Android? They never mentioned Android. They're not comparing iPhone 11 Pro Max to Android phones.

They're comparing it to iPhone 6S. And it's not worth their upgrade.
