you can optimize your android device battery in ways iphones cant. For example you cant disable or remove any system app consuming your battery in iPhones, but that is instantly doable in Androids

Try disabling google play services.

To be fair, you can do pretty much anything on a rooted Android.

But I wouldn't say "instantly" since you'd have to root it first.

Settings, apps, Google play services, disable. Very easy. Nobody is saying "you can disable any app you want on android and your phone will magically just keep running perfectly as though it's not dependent on it" just that it is possible to do so. Yes, I understand disabling Google play services will cripple many features. It is however possible, and you'll still have a functional phone afterwards. The same cannot be said about iPhones.

You can take background permissions from system apps on iOS

iphones cannot temporarily disable apps, cannot prevent specific apps from accessing network, cant spoof live location sharing, cannot even multi-window several apps at once. those are 4 simple examples which I personally find very helpful which all androids can do for more than 10 years already while iphone cant.
