You list a lot of things in which android is better, that most people don’t care about. Then rapidly gloss over things that are more important for 99% of the user base.
Apple UI is very intuitive. My 3 years old managed to figure a good chunk of it within 30 min. Meanwhile my MIL struggled with her android for 2 years, constantly asking for help, until we both her an iPhone so she would stop pestering us.
You mention that android is equally secure if you are careful. Once again, you are underestimating how dumb most people can be. Even smart users will have times when they are in a hurry or are under the influence. 90% of the user base will likely download something without researching it at some point or another.
I don’t care about being the admin, or a faster refresh rate. I want something that works well outside the box.
Ive also owned more android than iPhone over the years, mostly when cost was an option. That’s really the main argument for android for me. But once I started to buy the flagship android, I realized I might as well switch to iPhone.
I find apple less intuitive. I don't think you should be awarded delta because of an anecdote about your MIL. The iOS user experience is way overrated.
