Top Comments of this video!! :3
I noticed you didn't mention sideloading in your discussion about apps, and it's a pretty big deal for some folks. You know, the open source community often cooks up some fantastic apps that can sometimes outshine the originals. On Android, you've got the freedom to choose whether you want to install them or not, but on iOS, you're kind of stuck with what Apple gives you. For many Android users, third-party apps are a big deal, and I think it's worth mentioning because it can be a game-changer.

Something that was ignored for the APPS section is that android gives you the advantage to use older versions of apps (in case the newer versions are just bad or not for you), you can also patch or install custom versions of many apps like the now dead youtube vanced or versions of certain apps that give you more features or just adblockers, that is a huge huge factor, also the ease to emulate videogames SPECIALLY on foldable phones.
Edit: I'll add a list of things people have pointed out in the comments + what I already said
1.- old versions of apps and modded versions of apps (YouTube Vanced, adless instagram, yt music Vanced, etc)
2.- access to apps not available in certain counties or the store at all (Japanese games for example, we know your pain proseka players)
3.- Emulation in general is really good, specially if you have a tablet or folding phone
4.- torrent downloads

I think one thing that is generally missed when talking about "ecosystem" is how the various ecosystems play with each other. Apple devices working with other Apple devices is genuinely seamless. However, for work, I'm locked into a PC environment. If I used iMessage for communication, I'd be SOL all day without pulling out my phone to respond to messages. I can use google messages, chat, google voice, whatsapp, etc seamlessly from any device that I use regularly (currently Android phone, iPad, and windows PC). Android and Google apps play nicer across all ecosystems than Apple does, and I have zero desire to get locked into one ecosystem.

I think the ease of use thing is kind of overstated. I find actually finding things in IOS to be nightmarish. because of apples minimalist design many options and buttons just dont tell you how to interact with them or what they do. The example of you pulling down the bar from the top is perfect, in android most of those options are actually labelled. I think for someone who has never touched either they are probably equivalently easy to use.
In terms of support, I think its important to note that for power users an android phone will be usable for far longer. When apples planned obsolescence starts to kick in there isnt very much you can do about it, but with android you can switch over to a still supported lighter version of android which runs fine on your phone and doesnt intentionally throttle it.

I have been an apple user for decades so switching to android is never going to happen. I am impressed by his balanced approach to both platforms so I can clearly see both sides of the debate. Since I own an iMac, a MacBook, an iPhone, an iPad and an Apple Watch, I am totally happy being a locked in resident of Apple’s ecosystem. I am a retired senior citizen who has lived in the same house for 45 years. I have also been married to the same person for 52 years so I admit to being firmly set and comfortable in my ways.

Let me guess..the answer is that they are both good in their own way.
