I’m a lifelong iPhone user curious about the 2026 Android flagships. Is the "gap" finally gone?

Based on recent community experiments (including a side-by-side test with an iPhone 7 Plus and a Huawei P9, and more recently the iPhone 17 Pro vs. Galaxy S25 Ultra), the gap isn’t just closing—it’s shifting.

The Consensus: People still prefer iPhones for their style, hardware-software synergy, and resale value. It is the “safe” premium choice.
The Android Draw: Users are switching for hardware-to-price ratios. In 2026, many Androids offer 16GB RAM and 90W fast charging (0–100% in 30 mins) at a fraction of the cost.
Community Tip: If you’re curious, don’t just read reviews. Try a mid-range Android for a week and pass it to a co-worker or family member to get a “non-techie” opinion. You might find that the “freedom” of Android outweighs the “polish” of iOS.
