You can argue about Mac vs windows, I'll give you that, but iOS vs android isn't even remotely a competition. Like android isn't even close to iPhone
iMessages is a separate beast, and is truly only the child of Apple’s desire to stay proprietary. It is not only extremely easy to create non-discriminatory RCS texting, but it’s already been done with programs like Google Messages, which is functionally equivalent to iMessages, but is less used for the simple reason that it is not preinstalled on devices.
The majority of Android devices are locked to their cellular providers, and thus those phones come preinstalled with the terrible texting software that these networks provide. The entire issue of messaging standards is completely separate from OS, and it’s really only an issue that doesn’t benefit anyone.
Syncing from all your devices is already provided on all Android devices, with Google. iCloud only provides 5GB of space with a free account, while Google Drive gives all new users 15GB for free, with all the same features. You can sync notes, images, files, anything.
Apple's UI can be completely recreated on Android with only small, unnoticeable discrepancies. That’s one of the primary features of Android, you can do whatever you want with it, and that's why a lot of people like to use it.
Also, as for your final point, which device did you use?
like I said, it’s little things. Those are just examples.
Also yeah you can recreate an iPhone on an android device, but do you really want to? Like why not just get an iPhone at that point?
You’re missing the point. You can’t say that Android looks bad because you can make it look however you want.
looking bad is a matter of preference. it still looks like a knockoff to me. And like I said, why would you want to change it when you can just get an actual iphone?
Still missing the point. Your question is irrelevant. You say iOS looks better, despite the ability to make Android look however you prefer.
