I would like to use iPhones, they have really good cameras and very good video-recording capabilities. But sadly a lot of the apps I use are not available in the app store.

To me, this is a deal breaker. Hardware-wise the product is good, but I'm not just taking pictures and chatting on snapchat. I do a bit more with my phone. For my mom, however, the phone is great and does everything she expects it to do.

This is interesting cause it’s exactly the opposite for me. I’ve pixel 6a right next to me but my sim is still on my iPhone cause I just can’t find the apps I want on the android :)

Apple is free to bring the App Store to Android, while Google can't do the same.

I agree with you - it's all about the software.

For example, I bought an iPad for GoodNotes and Procreate. Both are killer apps and I've really grown to love the iPad.

The more interesting part to me is that this isn't even the majority of the smartphones sold globally. The smartphone industry is humongous.
