I can tout several things about the iPhone and associated devices:

1. Satellite connectivity, iPhone 14 and greater <https:// support.apple.com/en-us/101573>
2. Apple Watch is much more capable than any of the Android watches
3. AirPods Pro 2 can, as of a few days ago, function as a hearing aid. That means $250 for a hearing aid that is sufficient for many people with minor hearing loss <https://www.apple.com/airpods-pro/hearing- health/>
4. AirTags are much more capable than the competitors because every iPhone or iPad can locate them by default, no app needs to be installed.

Of course there are also numerous features on Android devices that are not available on iPhones, some of which I use on a daily basis, some of which I use on an occasional basis. The iPhone still has a way to go to catch up with Android devices in specific ways, though there is no indication that Apple is interested in catching up.

 Didn't Google add anyone-you-want satellite messaging capabilities to
Android 15 that aren't limited to only SOS (for some USA carriers)?
