Android phones can take advantage of everything just the same.

One phone can be tinkered with, one cannot tho

Nobody really cares about “tinkering” with phones, they just want it to work reliably for a long time. This is where iPhones succeed.

You mean until Apple doesn't push updates anymore so it's stuck on an old iOS but app get updated and don't support the old iOS so inorder to use them you need to buy a new phone

Apple supports phones longer than any other manufacturer with immediate updates that don’t leave you waiting for months wondering when your specific phone will get it.

In addition, the oldest phone currently supported by iOS 16 is the iPhone 7, released in 2016. However, most apps (for example YouTube) only require around iOS 14 to work. And the oldest phone that can run those is the iPhone 6s from 2015.

So unless you’re the type to keep the same device for 8 years, you will never need to buy a new iPhone to use apps.

One is built to have everything there by defualt. iPhone can be tinkered with, you just have to take advantage the app and enable dev mode, and import the things like that.

What if I wanted my apps to be arranged from bottom to top?

What if I don’t spend money on a Mac computer just to develop for my own personal application or modifying someone’s IPA?
