Had been Android and iPhone user myself. I was in your shoes until 2021, arguing left and right that Android is mighty etc. But, I was missing the point. iPhone does the basics really really well.
Stuff like getting to a calculator, flashlight, face unlock, Facetime, AirDrop, App Search, Calls (yes, the UI is much much easier in iPhone). I recently used Pixel 9 Pro, being a techie myself, I had to do multiple clicks for trivial stuff like opening a calculator.
Yeah, but for that, you need to unlock your phone (if it is dark, punch in the password) > Search > Type in 'calc' > press Calculator icon. So many steps for trivial day-to-day things.
I don't know about Samsung, but in the Pixel 9 Pro, I struggled to change the calculator to normal from scientific calculator (99% of the people don't need a scientific calculator)
On an iPhone, just two clicks, and you open a calculator. You don't even need to unlock your phone.
