Apple as an OS and platform itself, isn't bad. macOS, I'd contend, is probably the most user-friendly experience out there. iOS and iPadOS aren't far behind.

Apple also tends to be late with new features, but makes sure they are polished and complete when they launch.

But that's it. I wouldn't say that makes them the best by any means. They all have their merits in their own regard. Consumers have their own reasons for selecting one platform over another, and those that don't choose Apple.

Sent from my OnePlus 12 (and I use Arch, btw) (and my last phone was an iPhone 12 pro max...the only reason I got it was because I was sick of exchanging potatograms with my wife, who wouldn't use a separate app just to message me. Before that it was a OnePlus 6T, then Galaxy S9, Note 4, Nexus 4, and HTC Hero. Might've missed one) (oh yeah had an iPhone 5 from work. Couldn't wait to exchange that (for the Note 4).

Apple might be user-friendly, but that is kinda easy if you're super restrictive. And the only one that produces their stuff. The worst thing about android is being so fragmented, not only in versions but also in makers. And some really put tons of their own shit on top of android. I hate it. Especially Samsung. The apple of android.

I also hate it to be stuck with googles pixels. They're not only the purest but also, ironically, the easiest to root and, especially, un-google them with a different OS.
