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 removed 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
Edit 2: I know there are things android can do that iOS can’t. Just answering OP’s question
So some iOS devices can do things that all Android devices can’t?
Yes. Op didn’t stipulate that the differences needed to be true for all of iOS
I mean I can cherry pick stuff some Android devices can do, too.
That’s not what Op asked
None of my four iOS devices can do any of what you’ve listed. (2 phones, 2 ipads)
I stated some features were hardware specific and if your devices don’t support Wireguard (my third point) then they are really old and likely not supported anymore or maybe work devices that are locked down. Regardless, I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true and I stated caveats where necessary; I answered OP’s question.
Points 1 & 2 are true for all of Android as far as I’m aware. Point 3 is also probably true for all of Android past a certain version but I have no way of testing so I disclosed it affects pixels. I don’t know what you latched onto that made you so upset.
If you can’t buy an Android device with those features, for all intents and purposes, Android isn’t capable of those features. If you think OP is building an Android device with the hardware for features 1 & 2 but stopped by Lemmy to figure out if the Android OS was capable of using the hardware, you are delusional. Context is important.
Edit: I know you don’t actually think that, just making a point ^

YOU made that comparison. Which makes your argument, as Click and Clack would say, booooooooogus
Yes. Because that’s what OP asked for:
YOU made the cherry-picked comparison of specific iOS features to specific Android devices, not Android itself.
Sheesh, how disingenuous can you be? Just finish Sophistry 101?
