I pay 4$ a year for ad block plus for iOS. Totally worth it and blocks YouTube ads

That aren't as good as Ublock Origin for Firefox. There's also no AFAIK way to do something like what NoScript does for Firefox.

Same situation. I have both, my work phone is an iPhone. I just don't like using it. There's nothing major, both operating systems are capable, but there's little reminders everywhere that Apple is the one dictating how the phone can be used. Can't organize home screen icons. Uncontrollable notification spam by the system. Apple's apps mostly don't have individual privacy controls. Apple maps. Limited optical zoom. Having to find and use a special cable.
All of these are minor gripes (and the latter even resolved going forward), but why pay a premium for a device that irritates me?
...but my Android runs Firefox with uBlock Origin. I forget that cookie banners exist until I use my iPad. It also runs two background apps pretty reliably: a GPS logger and Syncthing. It respects my default web browser and music player choices.
Quality is subjective. For my specific needs, I prefer Android. If those things were solved I would have an iPhone.
