Phones rocking best chipsets in the world, being stupid fluid through their entire lifetimes without a single factory reset, software support beating entire industry all while being very consistent at it, performance and software delivery. Apple hasn't actually said they give 5 years of software updates as far as I know. We deducted that purely from their track record and they had this level of support since iPhone 3GS iirc. Whole decade ahead of everyone else. Does iOS have certain limitations or lacks certain features? Sure. What has instead of that is consistency of experience and isn't just filled with billion features of which 3/4 is really lacking because no one has touched them for a decade or they aren't all that useful as people hype them to be. Namely sideloading of apps, rooting and ability to flash custom ROM's. All great in theory, proven pretty much worthless in real world use. And I know that first hand because I've gone through all that. I rather take "locked down walled garden" and have great experience than some would be, maybe good experience that I have to create myself. Maybe. Because there is no guarantee for anything on Android and in most cases it just brings more problems than benefits.

            Well, you can't take away from Apple that they're incredibly consistant, always being late by at least 2 years.
            Except when it comes to screwing the customer where they're real pioneers.

                It's not expressing opinions if same anonymous Android boys are in every Apple article. It's just obsession about company who's products you don't even use, it's actually really weird. But it is understable, it happens because Android articles have no comments, so they feel outsiders while all the interest is towards Apple.

                  Because it wasn't possible with that face ID tech? You know it only works with iPhone 12 and newer.

                  "Even though is a nice feature to have, is kind of a useless feature now for majority of people."

                  So? I still use mask in public and i'm happy Apple added this and i sure isn't only one, there's millions of people who going to use this. Lot of people going to wear masks for long time still and Chinese people use masks daily and been using them for many years.

                  Chinese people will like this a lot and it's second biggest iPhone market.

                        People are expressing their opinions. Of course, there are some people who abused that concept of free speaking, but anyway, I think you are overexaggerating a bit.
                        People speak not so good things on different posts too, even Xiaomi or Realme posts nowadays.

                                Their aim is to get as many people away from Apple as possible.

                                  Security level is same, that's why it only works from iPhone 12 to iPhone 13. It also works for payments so it has to be secure. Also Face ID have never scanned the whole face.

Also Chinese people use masks everyday and long before pandemic. Also lot of people still use masks in public.

                                      So iPhone 11 Pro won’t get this feature?
