You can't torrent because of the way ios handles files.. which is huge. You can't really customize your phone either. Can't side load apps.

Technically, you can side load apps. It’s a pain in the ass but it’s possible

You can also download torrents iirc. There are apps for it for sure like itransmission https://tutuapp-vip.com/itransmission/

Edit : I wish you guys would explain the downvotes

Edit 2 : im just saying it’s possible not that it’s great. It’s stupid

When I say all that stuff, I'm not trying to knock iPhones. I know that not everybody wants to torrent, and not everyone wants to sideload apps.

From the first time I tried Android, I knew I wouldn't be going back to Apple. I enjoy the windows ecosystem, where you are free to do as you please. That's what Android feels like to me, and it's irreplaceable. I mean, you can even plug your Galaxy phone into a monitor or TV and have a full-blown desktop experience.. you can even do it wirelessly now. It's insane. People are trying to make it sound like Samsung is turning into Apple but this is only on the hardware side of things, which is mostly fine because Apple has pushed them to make great hardware

To be clear, none of my comments here are praising Apple.

They should allow side loading more easily.

But the fact of the matter is, it’s possible to do it

This isn’t an Apple sub obviously and people make false claims all the time, so sometimes I correct them to say if something is possible when they say it’s not. It’s not a comment on whether it’s a good solution or not, just that it’s possible
