I made the jump from Android fairly early on when I realized that phones are terrible general purpose computers and that I mostly just use it as a phone - i.e. use almost exclusively the restricted subset of features that’s typical of smartphones. I lose nothing moving to the iPhone and gain a better UX (no crap installed by carriers or anyone else for the matter) and get better post sales care (long term updates and quick security patches).

Up until recently, I would have said you were missing out since Android had a lot of unique things. Now, I agree. Android still does notifications better and I loved touch sensor customization like swiping the S8's sensor to open/close notifications menu, but even that may be coming soon with action button being replaced with touch button. Discovering shortcuts was a game changer and the live widgets are great. I'm stuck on iPhone 12 because I want to stay with mini but the dynamic island seems like a great addition.

The only thing I miss is side loading and emulators, but again, even that might be coming. Android literally only has photos and google home devices over me. I don't even care for gmail anymore.
