I don't know about categories overall, but I'm attached to my iPad and won't switch to Android in part because Affinity is not available there, nor is there any near equivalent as far as I can tell.

I still think Overcast is nicer to use than Antenna Pod.

Microsoft Office apps work much better on iDevices, in my experience. (I know they exist for Android, but I've never had much luck editing there, where it actually works pretty nicely on iDevices.)

I don't game much, but my kids like gaming on iDevices much better than Android. (I have an Android tablet that I use for testing things, and they consistently reject it in favor of iPhone or iPad.)

Flowkey (music instruction app) works much better with my MIDI keyboard on iDevices than on Android (where it doesn't work and has to resort to microphone, which is buggy as hell).

I'm sure some of this is just a matter of the platform being more polished in general, but these are some apps that keep people in my house on iDevices despite having plenty of access to Android. The quality of the Youtube app doesn't move anyone, nor do the browsers.

how do you live without ublock on your browser though?

firefox with adblock is the high quality youtube app

I use the AdGuard extension just like I do on macOS Safari. It works perfectly fine for removing ads.

I use Wipr 2. You throw $5 at the dev and you never have ads on any iOS device again.

ublock has been on safari for the past year! there were others before. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id674534269...

Brave on Android has ad blocking built in, I would assume it does in iOS too. No need for ublock in that case.

As a mobile Firefox with ublocker user I'm not sure I would call it high quality. I regularly have to force stop it to get pages to load properly. I suspect it might be the hostile google based os at fault but not sure

Orion browser on iOS is great and can run Firefox and Chrome extensions. Also has built in Adblock

[pvab3]

i just use Brave for iOS. I use the setting to block Youtube shorts, default to old.reddit, block ads and annoyances, etc.

[orhmeh09]

I use uBlock on mobile safari.

Look up Vinegar, Baking Soda, and (by a separate developer) Wipr.

[eldaisfish]

safari has ublock now.
