I dont like the apple ecosystem. I dont like the iphone and I do think it is overpriced. My wife uses the iphone X/apple watch/mac book air. Apple hardware lasts a long time. We still have original ipod minis, iphone gen 1, ipad gen 2 in service as docked mp3 players, picture frames, etc.
I find the case on iphones to be too slippery, requiring you to cover it with another case. My android phone does not need a case and the phone wasnt that expensive so if I drop it, it isnt a big deal.
I find very annoying things like text messages to my wifes phone showing up on all apple devices. turning off the feature hasn't helped.
Apple periodically makes me reauthenticate to icloud on my macbook. However I have no other apple device so it sends the codes to my wife's phone. very annoying.
I used the first iphone but switched to android for my next phone because the iphone lacked T9 search which android had/has. The iphone still doesnt have T9 dialing. It matches letters/numbers in any portion of the name. This is helpful when I cant remember someones first or last name. It is also helpful when I have lots of people with the same name, but I know a portion of their actual #. It never takes me more than 3 taps to dial.
The iphone didnt have the capability to override calendar notifications. I use an app on android that lets me snooze reminders until an arbitrary number of minutes before the event (for me it is 2 minutes before). I started missing meetings constantly because of the lack of this function when I had an iphone.
Until recently the iphone didnt have the ability to take phone+conference bridge numbers and autodial the whole thing
I despise itunes. Something is always breaking causing me to lose music, to have to rebuy music, to reinstall the entire library from backup etc.
Getting pictures off the iphone is a nightmare. On android, you mount it as a drive and copy the images.
I do use a macbook as macosx has a *nix lineage.
