10x telephoto? How far do you stand from your subject? A kilometer?
If you care so much about zoom and photo quality, get a DSLR, not an Android phone😂
Also, how often do you take photos of the moon? Lol.
Last I heard Google had far higher quality satelite photos than your peasant Android phone camera could ever imagine. Click > download.
Heres a 209-Megapixel moon photo taken from an Astrophotographer.

You can zoom in and see the Moon's craters in extraordinary detail!

Show me a more secure client OS, I'll wait. BTW, Volvo IS safer than other cars. These are the people who invented the crossover seatbelt you still use today. Their cars are literally curtained with airbags and use software to minimize impact to occupants and pedestrians. Their company GOALS are focused on safety.
With all of this in mind, I get the impression you never actually dig into your disbeliefs, just take them at face value and comment.
Why would someone with a phone without a notch switch to a phone with a notch?
They just would say, "I'm not actually sure." That's what they said when I asked them if Airpods could be shared across multiple devices and family sharing.
Apple doesn't innovate anymore. They don't need to, unfortunately. And they will continue to avoid risky business decisions until they are forced to do so by their shareholders. In other words, as long as Apple continues making bank, they aren't going to do anything that is in the slightest bit risky, and true innovation is risky. They will just wait and see what other vendors do, and then improve upon what they see is working in the industry.
Expect nothing "new" from Apple. Apple Car? Tesla. VR headset? Oculus (among others). Apple Watch? Samsung Galaxy Gear (among others. A whopping 2+ years before Apple Watch was released). The list could go on and on.
Don't get me wrong. Apple is a great company...to invest in. Because you have to realize their real stock value is in how careful they are in making business decisions. They are masters of refining existing tech. But innovators, they are not.
“This is what I found on the web for directions to see world.” 😁
LOL I own an iPhone. My point is that Samsung and Google have some pretty awesome features that we don't have on iOS.10x telephoto? How far do you stand from your subject? A kilometer?

One example is Vo2 max numbers will disappear for weeks and the only option is factory reset. Then the GPS randomly doesn't record the routes. Music on the Apple Watch will drop or skip. Bluetooth to non-Apple devices will drop randomly for no reason. The cellular connection is never active when it should be on both AW3 or 7. The AW has just been a mess over the years in my use. The GW has not had these issues yet.
But I know you won't listen, applogize to Tim Cook for me, and continue to worship Apple. Critisism of Apple products seem like breaking a holly commandment around here. God forbid another product might be GASP better!
GW has had its own issues. They put out FOUR of them in the single year before AW came along...every customer was an alpha tester until they just started giving them away with a phone purchase.
But I too have issues with AW, it's definitely not a solid product. However, your assumption that people who disagree with you are doing it out of Apple worship is ridiculous. You're claiming something is better, to a bunch of people who are Apple aficionados. It's one thing to discuss things in a non-biased, straight forward way. It's another to say, "THIS SUCKS, MINE IS BETTER!".
Secure? Yeah ok. Tell that to iPhone users in Brazil who lost their savings for thieves.
iPhones will be secure when Apple implement something like "secure folder" from some Android phones.
And when Apple sells iPhones with things like: the need to type a passcode to turn the iPhone off by default. And have an alphanumeric passcode (my wife's iPhone can be unlocked with a 4 digit code...)... and, ask for password by default (and not making the user have to set it) to change FaceID. And asking for a passcode to turn off things like switching data on or off, wifi and so on.
And maybe a "SOS mode".
Until then, this "secure" thing is just BS and marketing.

There is no such thing as non-biased opinions in reality. Everyone leans to some direction, that is just human nature. In my opinion the AW is not as fantastic as everyone pretends it is. Nor is the iPhone. It seems that people assume the Apple logo = top quality....that just isn't the case anymore. Build and hardware might be, software is not. Apple needs to work on it's software in a lot of places to earn the reputation that everyone just pretends it has.
Luckily for us your argument won't make sense once the DMA/DSA finally kicks in and we'll be able to access browser engines and emulators.
Besides, I don't think you buy the first phone you see in the first electronics store you stumble upon. You'll probably consider pros and cons, and if the pros of iPhone outweigh the cons, why shouldn't you buy iPhone?
Because it's totally the same thing, right?There's also "Nothing Phone 1" on the market now. No problems, LOL.
Hands-On With the Transparent Nothing Phone 1
Every so often a new smartphone makes waves in the tech world because of an eye-catching design or innovative features, and this month, the Phone 1...www.macrumors.com
So can you on iOS, what's the point? Also your response is irrelevant to the question.
Funny, I was at a friends house, he just got Galaxy ultra 2022, my iPhone 11 was working faster and better, side by side.
On the same wifi network, his Spotify kept pausing and crashing, YouTube 4k was stuttering.
My 2019 phone, works better them the top offering from Samsung.
I use my Apple Watch exclusively, for payments. I leave my wallet at home.
He gave up trying to use his galaxy watch for payments, because of reliability.
The iPhone just works.
So does the Apple watch.
I'm definitely content on iPhone, but better camera zoom on the Pro would be ideal. 10x Optical would have been amazing during my son's soccer this summer. And great for concerts where you're not close.
And then Google Pixel's ability to auto identify music playing is such an underrated feature. Two things that Apple could explore but chooses not to.
Sorry but this accessory is not supported.
Gotta use the $20 cables with the apple logo, that go with the $30 bricks with the apple logo
Ahh yes gotta have the obligatory "sideloading bad" commenter, the guy who just repeats all of the lies Apple says about sideloading and actively protest against any government antitrust regulation.
What makes a "secure folder" on an Android phone? The entire iPhone is encrypted. A secure folder beyond that can be had with a ton of apps. Any mobile device management solution can enable all of the rest that you ask for, which is why iPhones are preferred in enterprise security situations.
Also, that was a single user in Brazil, not plural.
Non-biased discussion is not the same as non-biased opinion. I agree with you on the software...usually until I use a competitor's products and realize it can be a hell of a lot worse.
Alright! Let’s welcome some newcomers soon. Maybe
