Just talking about the software-side of things: I think they actually have been adding very neat features with the past few updates. Automatic image OCR, so you can copy/paste text, inserting text via camera, the transformer-based keyboard and such are small, but very useful features.

I much prefer that over Microsoft's way of adding a new UI that can do less than previous iterations, while also being less performant and tons of half-baked features like their newly-planned Copilot, still unfinished Android subsystem, worse search, etc.

Of course, neither approach is perfect, but I actually prefer system that change little on the surface and mainly adds small, but well-integrated features over time. Not saying Apple is perfect (there's tons that could be done regarding user freedom on iOS, backwards-compatibility and gaming), but neither are the competitioners.
