*If all you do is use the iPhone as a toy... you _should_ be satisfied*
If you are ignorant that *the iPhone has _ten times more exploits* than Android, then, of course, the total lack of iOS security won't weigh in. https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog
If you are completely ignorant that Apple only fully supports a single OS release and worse - if you errantly think - as Jolly Roger does - that
Apple lied when they published their support document - then - of course,
you won't weigh the fact *iOS support is the _shortest_ in the industry*.

If you only use the iPhone as a barbie play house toy, then of course you won't take into account the thousands of things the iPhone just can't do.
You'll only be dissatisfied when you try to do graphical wi-fi debugging.
Or when you try to orient the app icons the way you want them to be.
Or if you want to spoof your GPS location or run a system-wide firewall.
Or if you want to load a more private web browser like Ungoogled Chromium.
Or, when you try to use a graphical interface to download YouTube videos without ads and being able to play and convert to any desired format.
Or if/when you want to or need to automatically record your phone calls.
Or if you want privacy/anonymity that only the Guardian Tor browser has.
If you don't care that there's no chance of privacy on an iPhone when
you're logged into the mothership 24/7/365, then you'll be happy with it.
If you don't care that Apple inserts a unique-to-you tracking ID into every IPA you install, then you'll be happy with that additional lack of privacy.
Hell, if you don't mind that every message you send has to go through
Apple's servers, then again, that additional lack of privacy is just fine.
You'll be dissatisfied with the iPhone if you want portable memory too.
Or if you want to plug into that (newer) iPhone standard wired headphones.
You'll be happy with the iPhone if, when you search for apps, you don't
care about the child-like filters that Apple (and Google!) provide to you.
If you never want to torrent a file, you'll be happy with that child's toy.
