My understanding is that on iOS your only non-paid choice is iCloud, and iCloud doesn’t reliably sync to non-Apple systems. To clarify, the use case here is that you have an iPhone but also non-Apple systems, which is a fairly common scenario.
TBH that sounds like a better reason to get something other than Apple systems instead of changing all your apps to work around Apples bizarre limitations.
To clarify, by “on iOS your only non-paid choice is iCloud” I meant for the Obsidian app specifically. Other apps do provide the option to sync with non-Apple cloud storage, without payment.
There are multitudes of pros and cons regarding choosing an iPhone. The restrictions of the Obsidian app is only a single one of those. Choosing an Android phone has drawbacks of its own.
Obsidian lets you pick any folder you want when setting up the notebook, so you could put it in any of your synced folders right?
Or does the iOS version of Obsidian do things differently?

iCloud is not the only alternative to Obsidian Sync on iOS. There are also several Obsidian plugins that allow you to sync to a variety of services.
