    Ignoring low hanging fruit answers like “iOS can use Apple apps” or “iOS gets more than 4 years of updates”; These are hardware specific but they work out of the box:

    • I don’t know if this is still true and even if it is, it’s not true for much longer; satellite SOS
    • LiDAR on the pro phones and faceID. Both can be used for 3D scanning
    • this also may not be true anymore but I had a bitch of a time getting my WireGuard VPN to automatically turn on when I left the house on android. I remember a pixel OS upgrade breaking my tasker script. Works fine on iOS.

    Edit: I know android can unlock with your face. That’s not what I’m talking about. The 3D scanning aspect is what’s cool
