My honest answer: Android is better. I currently own a iPhone X and it’s probably the worst purchase I’ve done. You can not customize it (expect change wallpaper lmfao), overpriced and generally doesn’t have the newest design or features.
I prefer iPhone.
To me, the OS is a big part of why I use it. I also really like the whole Apple ecosystem, the watch, the Airpods, the phone. It just works together well, and it makes the overall experience better. A problem with the whole Android vs. iPhone debate is there are so many Android phones each one with its pros and cons just like iPhone has its pros and cons. It's easier to compare the 2 when you are looking at an individual company such as Google or Samsung when comparing to iPhones because then you get a general better comparison and why one is better over the other.
Most of my friends and family use iPhones, so that makes things more comfortable too. Don't get me wrong, iPhones are very expensive, and that's why many don't recommend the expensive phones of last year. iPhone 8+ and iPhone XR (I know they are still pricy but compared to the XS and XS Max), they are as much value for money you can get from iPhones.
I won't say iPhones are better because in many ways they aren't, but I would rather use iPhones rather than Android phones.

I don't like this comparison when I hear it for the reason of fashion vs. technology. iPhone has differences to other phones while Supreme has very few differences regarding usage compared to other articles of clothing. Some people may buy iPhones just because of the brand, but I hope and think that is not why the majority are buying iPhones.
Yes, except that those usage differences for iOS are nearly, if not all negative. Most Android phones have, for example, a headphone jack. The recent iPhone's have that ugly notch, which comparatively few Android phones have. On the other hand, Android has structural advantages, options for insane specs (with iPhone, you're limited to the default specs unless you want to void a warranty, yet for Android, RAM, storage, battery packs, etc are allowed and encouraged), far more variety, far more OSes, far more user tweaking ability, and is simpler to use than Apple in many ways (such as not having to install a trust certificate every time you download an app from the internet). I honestly don't even think iPhone looks better on the outside, and the inside isn't all that impressive either, but if you wanted to, you can completely replicate the iPhone interface with launcher apps. The only thing I can see as an actual advantage is that, in general, the iPhones have a much better camera; however, for the price of an iPhone, you can get an Android phone with similar specs as well as a camera just as good as, if not better, the iPhone's. It's far overpriced, and is relatively bare compared to Android. That's why I say iPhone is the Supreme of phones. Oh, and also because everyone won't stop flexing AirPods.
The only really big company that hasn't removed the headphone jack in their latest phone is Samsung. Google and OnePlus and I believe the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. All removed it from their latest phones. The headphone jack is transitioning out completely. The notch is very subjective. Once again, the three phones I mentioned in my previous sentence also have notches. There are now phones like the OPPO which have motorized cameras to avoid it but whether that is better is subjective. Of course, they are many other phone companies, but the ones I mentioned are the ones I view as the big phone manufacturers and is what a lot of people would be exposed to. What OS is easier to use is very subjective, and it depends on which phone you have as they have different skins on Android. But yes, androids are far more customizable. The looks depend on which phone you are comparing to, and there are too many android phones to say they all look better than iPhone because I would strongly disagree with that. And yes, AirPods are heavily flexed and I don't understand that because there are other wireless earbuds for the same price and some for more. I use them because of the convenience of it when using it with an iPhone.
I disagree with iPhones having a better camera. Their cameras are the same just the software is the only difference. However, I still believe my LG G6 outperforms the new iPhone phones insanely from my usage and much cheaper. The main thing that disappoints me about iPhone and their camera app is the lack of a professional style manual mode. Most android oems built that in their camera apps. Ever since I've learned the ins-and-outs of photography and shooting raw/manual, I've been committed to stay with that.
Airpods are definitely over flexed. They aren't even good in my opinion. People just flex them cause of the price to buy a pair. It's not even that expensive to be honest, but I've had people tell me I can't afford airpods cause I have an android but the real fact is, I spent my $200 on a much better product, Sony wh1000x M2. Now these are ACTUAL headphones and obviously will outperform airpods but there are idiots that don't know what real sound quality is and still think airpods are better. I just let them believe what they want and let them stay oblivious to real sound quality. Now I know I'm comparing earbuds to oversized headphones but again, there's people who think airpods are better than everything.
Cameras definitely are not that same, my brothers first-gen iPad has a better camera than my 2015 ZenPad 8 (or old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2)
iPhones are good and all, but lately they have been getting way to expensive. If you want a cheap phone, get an Android. If you want a nice looking phone that may or may not be overpriced, go for an iPhone. It's trustworthy and has amazing software, but get an iPhone 8 and not an X. They are overrated and all you need is an 8.
Xr > 8, I'd personally pay more for what the Xr has to offer especially since it has a lot of upgrades (A12 fastest chip on the market
, Best LCD out there and better display pixel count, etc)
Androids also have been getting expensive. OnePlus used to be a budget brand but now it's packing flagship prices, same with Huawei, and Samsung flat out made their base model phone $900, which isn't even the best the phone can get, and their highest phone costs base $1600 and you combine that with Tariffs not even iPhones reached Borderline $2.5k-3k, that's insanity for a phone.
I prefer iPhones but Androids work.
Why would you spend more for literally the same thing?
Just because it has an "Aple" logo it increases the price?
