    I’d rather buy an iPhone instead of a shitty clone that won’t receive updates after 3 years.

    You need to look more carefully and androids because there’s plenty that are not clones. Very few all clones so you appear to be selecting for your own bias

      If you’re looking at only midrange then sure. Otherwise only Sony is still offering headphone jack on their flagship. Go to GSMarena and see for yourself.

      And when it comes to UI, Android is constantly dumbing itself down with no option to opt-out. Remember 9 button layout from however many moons ago that was replaced by thick ugly blocks?

        When did Apple release their Foldy phone? An Android manufacturer (spacing on the name) is already getting ready to release a tri-fold phone

        In any case, iPhone and Android copy each other all the time. Sometimes it’s Android copying iPhone and sometimes the opposite, it’s just the way it goes in the smartphone industry

          or 10x physical zoom, punchthrough cameras, USBC…

          In a lot of ways, iphone just copies android. They are just better at marketing themselves

              im saying that the android broke ground and got there first on all of these, while the iphone likes to pretend its cutting edge.
