Are you saying Android has less features and capabilities? Or am I reading it wrong?
Comment on Japan prepares regulation requiring Apple to allow sideloading
doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 6 months agoWouldn’t putting Android on an iPhone be redundant? It would have less features and capability for a higher cost.

You’re indeed reading that incorrectly. You can see clearly that I’m saying the iPhone with Android OS has less features for a higher cost (Compared To an Android Phone).
The reason that’s implied is because I included cost, because compared to an iPhone with iOS the cost wouldn’t change at all.
iPhone has less lenses, lower megapixels, less zoom, and the charging cables are less effective or in many cases use proprietary charger instead of ?USB-C, among other things.

Ahh I see, thanks!
The reason I was confused is that I was assuming this is about older iPhones, you know, the ones Apple is deliberately slowing down. So installing a lightweight Android ROM could give them a new lease on life.

I would assume it’s to use the chips but that only works if they’re forced to provide proper drivers for the full hardware

Not if the phone isn’t getting updates anymore or second-hand and the user doesn’t want to use iOS.
