I bought a an iPhone 15 Pro Max few months ago and compared it to my S10+ which I bought in 2019 and still have. There's practically no difference for regular day to day stuff, except for the camera advancements which are notable (but not night & day either). It was only the frustrating battery life, and desire to enter the superior iPhone camera ecosystem that forced me to upgrade.

I’ve always thought android phones had similar battery capabilities than iphones.. How worse are they ?

I mean, my S10+ is 5 years old now so it's definitely going to be worse. I'm sure the latest devices are ~on par.
