File explorer exists on iOS.
Manga reader - there are options, but less convenient than on Android.

No torrent software though. Forbidden by Apple.
One reason I use Android that has no viable replacement on iOS is call recording. I deal with government officials a lot and I want to hold them accountable (I live in a nation with one-party consent laws, in the sense that I only need my own permission to record a conversation).
iOS will not let you do this natively, you have to add a call recording service via a three-way call whereas I can do this out of the box with /e/OS on a Fairphone.
This is one of the best reasons I've ever heard for not running iOS.
I completely understand why Apple won't allow it from a third party: that's a security and privacy nightmare.
I even somewhat understand why Apple hasn't developed such a feature themselves: it's a very minority use case and has some legal concerns in some jurisdictions.
But the end result is, yes, iOS is not for anyone that needs to record calls like that.
iMessage doesn't mean anything to me anymore. Apple waited too long and didn't open it up when they should have, same mistake BlackBerry made.
