If the article explained why iPhone was worse than Android at something they'd be like "whatever, I love my iPhone" so I don't see how that statement adds any new information.

I’m not sure that’s true. I wish there was a foldable version of the iPhone.

I just think better privacy and security controls and stricter app guidelines are a reason people choose the iPhone over Android, so this really isn’t a surprise to people that have been paying attention. It’s the tradeoff we make for the walled garden approach, but I think it makes sense for a smart phone and less so for a general purpose computer.
