What? No, not even close.
- no way to use the phone without an account
- no way to install apps from outside the store
- no browsers other than Safari reskins.
These are all fixed by the DMA, but it will take a lot of time for things to mature, however other issues persist
- no way to put apps on the bottom of the screen
- the FOSS scene on IOS basically doesn't exist, while on android there is a whole app store for it(https://f-droid.org) this is a big point for me.
- no way to duplicate apps
- no separate work profile
- limited file mangament
- no notification chat bubbles(a pretty good feature on android 11/10?+
- no advanced apps like local terminal emulators, virtual firewalls or virtual tracker blockers(partially because the FOSS community rightly doesn't care about iOS)
- non encrypted iCloud backups(basically a backdoor into WhatsApp) or any important file medium
- CSAM Scanning inbound
And many other issues, iOS is hardly making Android hard to choose, its still locked down prison, its just a bit nicer inside now.
Since I value my privacy and like FOSS iOS is even more useless for me.
