I don't care for AirPods, HomePod or all the other accessoires. However I do want a smooth and consistent OS. Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile after that was that for me. Usually very smooth, clear design language, very consistent. Until Microsoft killed it. Then you have Android which isn't Android. Samsung desperately trying to establish its own identity, by including own versions of apps on their devices - so you have Android Browser/Google Chrome and Samsung Internet. Gmail and Samsung Mail and Android mail. The list goes on. Then let's talk about security patches and updates. Improvements have been made over time, but it is still nowhere near Apple. Partially this is due to the way Linux kernel and build process works, but as a user I don't care about that. Even on flagship devices Android is not truly smooth. Sure, some animations are added here and there, but it is not truly smooth - and often there is some stuttering here and there. That completely ruins it for me. Let's not talk about how lower-end devices work. Apple asks too much for their devices, the apps can be incredibly expensive, and I don't like how they've handled repairability until now. Accessories are too expensive. AirPods shouldn't even exist. But what they offer does work and it works mostly well.

I've used both and responsiveness to touch at all times is very important to me which iphone does a better job at. I hate how they abuse this iMessage situation though.

> AirPods shouldn't even exist Why is that? I recently switched to AirPods Pro because I wanted to see what the fuss was about and I don't regret it one bit. - Pairing works seamlessly, including switching device, including non Apple devices - The controls on the buds are amazing and well thought of (I had Jabra before and the controls were different on the left and right earbud, so if I wanted to wear only the right one I couldn't skip a song because the control was on the left one) - Active noise control works great - The microphone is good enough that I can actually use them for calls, even in the street near cars - Integration with FindMy, not only for the case but also for each earbud individually is soooo useful. - Even the feeling of closing the case is amazing. They're easily the best earbuds (and headphones too) I've ever had.
