RULES
While this is s community focused on Android, some of us have devices from the Android, Apple, Windows and Linux worlds, etc. We may prefer Android, but overzealous and obsessive adherence to Android as some sort of infallible platform won't be tolerated long here.
That said, being critical of brands is fine. Android is frustrating in some ways, just like iOS and so forth. Let's be upfront about that.
Be thoughtful and helpful, even with 'stupid' questions. Otherwise, as ya mama said, say nothing at all. The world won't be made better or worse by snarky dudes schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.

I use an iPhone for work and android personal phone. One thing that always bugs me on my iPhone is the lack of a universal back gesture. There is typically a button to go back and Apple is pretty strict about reasonable interface consistency, but I frequently end up just swiping back to the the home screen. Maybe I am dumb.
I also find that Apple leads the way in OS optimization, battery life, and some aspects of UI (even if I don't always agree with their choices), but android leads in hardware based features, like cameraa and screen advances and increased flexibility to try newthingss that change the experience like launchers, ROMs, and custumizations
Overall the openness wins the day for me.
