1. Vulkan vs Metal 2 in fragmentation devices. All Apple SDK include CoreML is running on top of Metal 2. If I'm right, only a small number of Android apps and 3D gaming utilize Vulkan. 2. Pushed for Healthcare, Android lack the ability to safeguard patients' data since Android is open source and could be steal 3. ARKit is one of the many AR out there, still early to judge whether iOS can get AR wide adoption by developers, it's easy to develop while Androis flagships could work on AR using 3rd parties SDK seem not as smooth as ARKit without Tango enabled and need lot of testing on different devices than on iPad and iPhone. 4. Camera quality are subjective, Flickr have plenty to show creative photography. I always feel most flagships can take good and bad photos just like DSLR, if you don't know how, you are just an owner, not a photographer. Just like, you are just a player, not a professional. HEIF is an awesome format which can recreate bokeh close to DSLR and other effects without a specialize hardware.

"HEIF is an awesome format which can recreate bokeh close to DSLR and other effects without a specialize hardware." HEIF has certain desirable compression (and other) properties for storage, but that is entirely orthogonal to bokeh, which is an optical visual characteristic that is generated (optically or algorithmically) during capture. And, needless to say, we're several generations away from an iPhone class camera having enough depth differentiation to come close to any Circa 2000 DSLR's bokeh. Right now bokeh on the iPhone is an awkward techology demo, which more often than not doesn't quite work. Yet.

1. All devices running Android N and above have Vulkan. Although, I still fail to see why OpenGL ES could not be used as a fallback. 2. Android being open source does not make it unsuitable for safeguarding patient data. I'm surprised you would even mention this as it undermines your entire argument. The open source nature of Android actually makes it more secure because you have more eyes on the code. Security through obscurity is always less secure. 3.Google could also provide a variation of the Tango SDK to support normal devices.
