Android is more customizable and has more features and complex options, while iOS is more straightforward, easy to use and has a higher level of security. Most apps are available on either operating system, but more Android apps are available than iOS apps.
Generally, though, iOS devices are faster and smoother than most Android phones at comparable price ranges. For example, an iPhone 14 can perform nearly as well as the highest-end iPhone, and it starts at $799 MSRP. Even the budget iPhone SE is a great performer.
Android a lot better at customization and personalisation. And in the android world, I've always felt super pleased with the Samsung devices I have owned in the past. So I'd say Samsung for sure, in terms of features and specs as well.
Tbh, it also depends on the lifestyle you were adapted too, I always noticed that people using Samsung devices don't have issues figuring out how to use the device so that's another plus.
Bugs are bound to come, and I seen bugs on iPhone 13pro. Didn't use the 14 yet, but looking forward to the Wooow coming soon, stay tuned for the Unpacked Event on February 1st
I would like to share an incident with my wife which happened back in 2015 when I gifted her the IPhone 6S (latest that time). But setting it up from her existing android phone was a headache. She thrown her iphone in dustbin which I later picked up and did with paid software (especially for WA). The main issue was WA and music.
So in my personal opinion also, android is the best and Samsung devices are rulers with the level of features, customisation options, security and android updates. No other manufacturer is matching with them.
