So some iOS devices can do things that all Android devices can't?
I mean I can cherry pick stuff some Android devices can do, too.
None of my four iOS devices can do any of what you've listed. (2 phones, 2 ipads)
Yes. Op didn’t stipulate that the differences needed to be true for all of iOS
That’s not what Op asked
I stated some features were hardware specific and if your devices don’t support Wireguard (my third point) then they are really old and likely not supported anymore or maybe work devices that are locked down. Regardless, I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true and I stated caveats where necessary; I answered OP’s question.
YOU made that comparison. Which makes your argument, as Click and Clack would say, booooooooogus
Yes. Because that’s what OP asked for:
YOU made the cherry-picked comparison of specific iOS features to specific Android devices, not Android itself.
Sheesh, how disingenuous can you be? Just finish Sophistry 101?
Points 1 & 2 are true for all of Android as far as I’m aware. Point 3 is also probably true for all of Android past a certain version but I have no way of testing so I disclosed it affects pixels. I don’t know what you latched onto that made you so upset.
If you can’t buy an Android device with those features, for all intents and purposes, Android isn’t capable of those features. If you think OP is building an Android device with the hardware for features 1 & 2 but stopped by Lemmy to figure out if the Android OS was capable of using the hardware, you are delusional. Context is important.
Edit: I know you don’t actually think that, just making a point ^
