Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

I've never taken an android out of the box and it not work. Not sure what that statement even means.

Well, I buy xiaomi phones and ... well, need to root and flash roms. That is only me though, I am sure there are many users that are okay with OEM phone systems.

Heh, I get your issue with xiaomi. I feel like it's just what you get when buying a chinese phone. MIUI is the absolute worst android ui you can get in terms of advertising, I mean come one who tf advertises IN SYSTEM APPS. But they're aprettx good platform for custom ROMs and rooting

I also never had an android not work out of the box, the setup feels the same as apple complexity wise

As a long time android user I was kind of impressed by the setup process on newer android phones. Easily migrates your data over and sets everything up for you to your liking. Feels very polished.

Early non iPhones weren’t always that way.
