I think I’m terms of pure features that most people care about, other manufacturers are on par.

But Apple products tend to have some really interesting manufacturing or technology. Machining steel for the iPhone 4, FSW, putting an Xbox Kinect into the notch, LiDAR, making edge to edge screens without a chin, custom silicon.

Most of this is easily replaced or omitted because it doesn’t really matter much to the end user.

They really add up. Face id was and is pretty "magical". Chins on other phones massively bother me, especially when they are just a tad larger than the side bezels. It's off.

Apple are able to provide unique experiences through their polish and proper concepts. Other manufacturers can even have the features, but they usually don't know what to do with them, make the experience bad and so nobody will care.
