#32Only for the work profile feature Android is absolutely worth it. With iOS you are forced to either carry two phones or give access to your company to your personal phone.
Google assistant is way superior to Siri, I use it all the time to add stuff to a groceries list or to ask random questions in my native language: 0 problems. With Siri this is just not possible.
And finally: my Pixel 7 costs half of an iPhone and the experience is flawless! I'm getting Nexus 5 vibes with this phone. They really nailed it this time.

Yet the open source ecosystem is thriving on Android, whereas it's incredibly cumbersome to use open source apps on iOS.
IMHO it’s more expensive than cumbersome. You “just” have to pay 99$/year then hit build and run. Or is there something I missed?
Well you also need to have a mac. And mac minis have 8gb of ram that makes them practically useless for serious work. So you need a >1000$ system.

You can develop apps without paying the fee, but you'll need to pay if you want to actually publish. That's been a great move IMO, because it's a gateway to stop spammy apps from appearing on the store. If you put in $99 and have to go through a review process, you'll put the extra effort into making a good app.
Oh yeah I even forgot about the free tier

iOS is better than Android... if you're Apple selling your users to even sleazier companies.
