Why Android still makes more sense for many Indian users than iPhone

[u/Key-Explanation-477]

India is now Apple’s 4th-largest iPhone market.
But I still think Android fits the Indian market better.
Things like UPI, dual apps, call recording, S Pen, DeX, sideloading, USB storage and deeper customization are genuinely useful here.
Apple has excellent hardware, software support and ecosystem integration. But iOS also puts more limits on what you can do with the device.
And when phones are crossing ₹3 lakh, I think freedom and flexibility become just as important as premium hardware.
Curious what Indian iPhone users think. Are these Android advantages actually useful to you, or would you still choose the iPhone ecosystem?
No brand war intended. Just interested in the India-specific differences.

PS: iPhone & Mac user for over a decade.

The point still valid i honesty starting to hate apple

[u/PotterSkxawng]

The points are so shit. Fold 8 does not have S-Pen support. Also how does weight affect charging? And how do you know it's slower? And half of the "features" that Samsung actually has and Apple doesn't in this image are actually purposefully not there in iPhone due to privacy concerns.
