What I hate the most with some Android OEMs is when they try to be Apple but instead of taking what's good about the iPhone (like timely software updates), they take what sucks about the iPhone like the notch.

Hahaha, yes exactly!! I kind of get updates; they'll always be a fair bit behind what Google does, because they don't get the kits in a decent time frame. Android One should solve that but at the same time it takes away from the innovations other companies are putting into Android. Double edged sword really.

I don't think Apple necessarily does anything better hardware wise than most Android manufacturers now. They're all playing at a pretty high level.
