Given all his expertise, knowledge and teaching ability our regular troll
cannot fathom that ios has some benefits over other devices. 

Note that they are fundamental to the OS and do not require downloading
third party apps which will likely need a separate account and may
introduce vulnerabilities or may be a bit flakey. 

He will of course deny they are useful, claim they have a direct equivalent
in android and will change the definition multiple times. 

So here's the list in no particular order. 

FaceID
Universal Clipboard
Backtap
Geofencing and shortcuts in general
Homekit integration
Centre stage
Find My - google's is nowhere near as useful being too new
Family account settings (great for managing subs for kids)
visual voicemail 
Facetime hand gestures
scan to pdf (and annotate)

Bonus one for ipadOS: Sidecar

Personally, I use most, but not all of the above and would miss them if I
didn't have them.
