iOS is still pretty far behind android, apart from being faster and looking nicer. Bad notification system, bad keyboard, no split screen mode, inability to turn off animations, no proper cellular data tracking.

I’m sure those things matter to some people bit they don’t seem to matter to a lot of people. Readers on HN are most definitely not typical.

And less crashes, longer support, better security (imo). I wouldn’t call that “far behind”, but more like just personal preference. These points matter much more to me than the inability to turn off animation.

And you can't turn off wifi and data for Apple services which means Apple spies you all the time.
