Downside of android

We stand on the heads of giants for sure, but there have been visionary geniuses in each generation.They sure do! The boomers invented it, implemented it and streamline it!
The rest was easy stuff for the next generations to improve what was invented and built for them.
IOS is much easier to manager from an administrative standpoint, as separate devices outside of domain joined devices. Apple has their own partial account management system that will show all iPhones registered to a company. MDM-wise, they're all the same.
EDIT: To add, iPhones are usually in deep discount with business account managers compared to android. Deep discount as in free; so getting 200 free iPhones for a 2-year business contract with TMO is a big difference for an IT budget.
That helps "bundle" equipment together so IT doesn't have to administer two different OS, (and thus, programs) as well.

The phone as status symbol. I suppose that's why they make diamond-encrusted 18k gold phone cases.

Epic games has to pay for the fortnite refund lawsuit somehow.
Epic games is also suing, or has sued, or is suing again Apple, Samsung, and Steam. They're a very lawsuit happy company.

Androids confuse me I do hate giving money to apple but I don’t know how to accept android phones
I can't disagree, there are winners and losers in this world and all those mentioned companies (and all corporations) use law as a way to make money, grab market share, steal patients, anything and everything, that is the job of their multistory built in law firms. None of them are saints. Google lost this round. It's just business. Though the judge did declare they are operating a monopoly. Bottom line is, the consumer wins, so the system does work when it can.
For the 3rd world it is definitely considered a luxury item. Apple knows this and actually charges more outside the US. Every time we go to Brazil we've got a number of Apple items in our carry-on luggage, because they cost less in the US.
They're user friendly if you are used to doing things the Apple Way. Same thing with Macs.
It takes some adjustment if you are not used to doing things the Apple Way.
The Supreme Court denied Epic's final appeal in the parallel lawsuit and now this on the Google case? Makes no sense.

Yeah, I’m going to liquidate overnight based on that opinion …

Yep and clearly we all have one... Actually saw an interesting documentary on Starbucks yesterday and how they've 'managed' to get where they are and far from impressive in the grand scheme of things. For yrs I've related them to Apple in that you're paying a premium for the experience as the products are barely tolerable. IMBHO both brands appeal to those that don't mind spending more and are none the wiser that far better/different can be had.

What do enterprise class devices run on? That is when devices are for production, not playing games and checking email.

Yet still another reason to only use their website instead of an app.
