    The differences between these two phones are simultaneously very muted

    You have to be an adult when you read that sentence in that iOS is like a Barbie-and-Ken toy plastic corvette in terms of what it just cannot do.

    The point is that you can't just ignore that the iPhone can't do thousands (upon thousands!) of very useful things any Android phone can easily do.

    In a few specific specs the iPhone 15 edges
    out its competitor, yet the Samsung Galaxy S23 remains a better device
    when you evaluate the whole picture.

    Please realize it's like comparing a Chevy with leather seats to a Ferrari
    when they're "claiming" to compare 'specific specs' between the two phones.

    99.999% of which no ordinary consumers care about...

    his claim of 'thousands upon thousands' is not true.

    there's a small number of things that android can do that ios cannot do
    and many things that ios can do that android cannot (or nowhere near as easily). many have been previously listed, which he dutifully ignores.

    You've never been able to list a single useful functionality on iOS that
    isn't (usually long ago) already on Android, nospam.

    *All you iKooks do is incessantly lie about imaginary iOS functionality*
    Why?

    Just because customers don't care about something doesn't mean it's not
    nice to have the option.

    Personally? Sure.

    As a business model? No way.

    Apple sells iPhones in their billions BECAUSE they have a carefully
    tended garden.

    That that might mean that some functionalities aren't feasible is
    irrelevant.

    PEOPLE like that iPhones just WORK.
