Fairphone

The main thing is app quality. Software is just way nicer, more stable and smoother on iOS (which makes sense since the App Store is more profitable than the Play Store, so developers focus on it first instead). I don't even use Apple services so I'm not tied to their ecosystem, I'm mainly thinking about third party apps here.

I get an Android phone from time to time hoping I'm gonna like it enough, unfortunately it's never happened yet. Last one was a Pixel 7 but I didn't really like the hardware (it was way too big, the camera was disappointing and the speakers sounded really mid, even compared to my 5 year old iPhone). I could get used to the software but I just don't enjoy it as much as iOS, so it's not really motivating
