Having customers who don't know to deal with issues on other platforms then their "home" platform actually does not tell bad about the customers but good about the products thy are used to? Since they simply did not have to deal with these tasks before...
Of course: pro and cons of a "walled garden".
Choose your poison...

On the software side for iOS there are other dramatic/ridiculous limitations as well, for which the Android devices offer solutions since many years:
- Apple is too incapable to mirror the phone's screen on a 16:9 external monitor without black bars at the bottom/top on the monitor (except for videos).
- Desktop mode, which exists since years on Andoid phones and cannot be offered with iPhones
- Ability to have smaller, free floating, moveable windows for applications. Apple only manages videos in small windows, that's it.
- Split screen modus to have two, three oder more application on the screen to interact with. Android easily offers solutions for that.
- Ability to switch from portrait mode to landscape mode throughout the whole system - dependent on the position of the IPhone.
Those things would improve the iOS dramatically, but the stubborn and ingnorant Apple developers will never understand, that they manage a dramatic productivity gap (instead whiping out that gap).

Apple is a typical US corporation. Their car industry is another example of one that lagged behind the rest technically and made up for it with an obsession with engine power, sales and marketing, except in products designed for outside the US. Laptops were a fortunate exception - for years theirs were simply the best until they had to adopt the same technology as everybody else and started obsessing with irrelevant but sales oriented concepts like thinness, at the expense of longevity.
I do wonder if, without the US military and the petrodollar, Apple would be half so successful - the fact that the US government felt it necessary to destroy Huawei who were getting too good at both phones and 5G suggests that they wouldn't.
The products are good, but actually conservative.

I think the whole world works like this, why you make this Apple thing? Every year companies need to have something to sell and they can't give it all right away or want to rush features because then what would they sell next time if they already gave everything.

Try throwing random nonsense around again... and always portraying iPhone users as idiots just because you fiddle with garbage ROM's all days long and you think you're some sort of god because you can flash a ROM on it. Like, lol? The entirety of Android users is not represented by you. And same stands true for iPhone users. Just because you've seen one clueless, doesn't mean they're suddenly all clueless. Stop projecting.

Not only iPhone. AirPods as well - "no volume control in these AirPods 'Pro', we will introduce it in a few years and make you spend money again if you want it".
They are slowing the tech on purpose, to have something "new" for future devices.

SShock, 19 Sep 2022GooglePay still doesn't support my country. Like, AT A... moreIt's just shows how Google have no direction or know what they do and also don't care about things they do. They just do things and leave it there. Google Pay is great example of that, they made the it many years ago, but their users had no idea their phones have it. very few ever used it and after Apple Pay came many got to know that their Android phone could have done that too. Google leaves things halfway, they've done it so many times and it's one big reason why more and more leave Android. They just don't have direction where they want to go and without control things eventually just go bad, just like what's happened with Android because it grew way too big way too fast without any control, all the OEMs are doing their own things and building big cluttered mess.

-Trix-, 19 Sep 2022"Apple iPhones, revoliusonizes your wallet every year.... moreGooglePay still doesn't support my country. Like, AT ALL. Meanwhile I've been using Apple Pay for months.With a slight workaround because of my bank, but it's otherwise officially supported in my country and works flawlessly. The amount of times payment failed using NFC and my bank's own app was ridiculous to a point I had to have a physical credit card with me in case it failed. And it failed all the time. Google is either incompetent or just flat out lazy for so many things they could've improved. But hey, they have themes and custom launchers so they're happy...

100% agree with this, Apple revolutionized my wallet with their Apple Pay, it's very slim and light now 😁
Funny how Google screwed this too when they had years of head start 😆

And most importantly, the pill-shaped camera lens which was introduced with the Nokia 6220/6610i in 2002 and overused by ODMs and ended up with the iPhone X in 2017

Grey Wolf, 19 Sep 2022Yet, the one who furiously defending something is always yo... moreI'm defending Apple for EVERYTHING ? Are you even literate? Like, AT ALL? Because there is no f**king way you actually read any of my comments and still managed to blurt out such statement. If you haven't noticed, I've criticized Apple on several occasions, but I'm not going to just say nothing when people talk dumb s**t about things that aren't true. There is a difference between defending something and just disproving BS. But you all just conveniently decide to not just dismiss, but outright intentionally ignore.
Also replying to everyone? Pal, this is comment section. I don't know if you have noticed or not, but that's kinda the point of it? You know, having discussion is not you posting something and then I don't reply at all. Hell, it even shows how many replies you got. Why wouldn't I respond lol?

SShock, 19 Sep 2022Except it doesn't. How on Earth you call Androids file... moreYet, the one who furiously defending something is always you, lol. Don't take this the wrong way, but from all the Apple users on this site (Trix and DaFink maybe some of them), you are the only one who replies to almost every comment that says anything against iPhones (even the troll comments).
That's why people pick on you all the time. You are the most triggered in here.
One thing I learned in life, sometimes is better to calm down, be ignorant and don't stress about every little thing. Is not you owe something to Apple to defend them so eagerly in every post.

Then how come ALL Android users kept asking me where they can find photos to backup? But sure, Android users are all experts who code their own OS and iPhone users are dum dums who know nuffin.
Yeah, people didn't know DCIM is for photo storage even on cameras if that wasn't the only folder on SD card, genius. Which isn't the case with phones where you have it surrounded by 500 other folders created by apps. The fact you keep tip toeing around shows me you are either willfully ignoring this idiocy on Android or you haven't actually plugged the phone to PC as mass storage device. Which is it?
