I didn't much like the iPhone I got with my last job, but it was minor niggles. It did phone calls and inferweb and maps and stuff.
So far I am liking some things about Android, dislike some things, but in the end it is just a phone.
I particularly like having choice over whether to use face recognition, fingerprint or both.
The Facebook app is typically a complete pain in the ass- videos autoplay, way too many notifications and it is difficult to turn them all off, or at least time consuming. I imagine that is the same on the iPhone.
Edit: Managed to turn them all off- fucking irritating to do though.

Ive enjoyed among music more since moving to Apple than I ever did with
android/Microsoft.
I used android phones for years still do I’ll do for work but I would t have one for personal use anymore.
a) a Zoom or Sound Devices mobile recorder.
b) a proper control surface (Mackie Control, SSL Nucleus, Slate Raven, Eucon controller)
In both cases you get a much better experience that does what you need to do without compromise (or at least fewer compromises).

I just don't tinker anymore, don't customise, my desktop wallpaper is the default one because the only time i'd see it is when i boot up or shut down, the rest of the time it is taken up by Outlook/Mail/Chrome/Adobe stuff.
In terms of "ecosystem", you are just swapping one to the other. Both have their own walls, just one is larger than the other, how close to the edge you really use? down to the person.
These days I store my files on Google Drive/Dropbox on the cloud, both of which you can access very easily on the iPhone so there is a filing system, a cloud base one too so you never lose it.
Having a more locked down phone also means I don't spend ages fiddling with it, just get on and use it. The whole system is so smart like when i upgraded from the iPhone 6 to iPhone XR, it asked me to put my old phone next to it, it somehow ported stuff across, and then started to download the backup from iCloud. The phone end up being just like the old one with new hardware. Idiot proof.
I got Airpods last week, to pair it up it is simply
