Camera apps.
Everything else I agree with, but the Android camera APIs do not allow developers to build good device independent camera apps the way they are available on iOS.

To be fair to Android, iOS isn't offering "good device independent camera apps" either, you only have ~one choice of device with iOS.
Probably the use of "device independent" had other meaning than the usual.
It’s not Android. The Camera 2 API is more than capable of building device independent apps. It’s the developer not using the API for whatever reason.
first time hear this, any more specifics? i used android to develop video conference software and don't recall camera limits
I'm only familiar with this as a user and not a developer, but I've had multiple Android phone where not all camera features available in the Camera app were available to other apps via the APIs:
* not all cameras being available
* stabilisation not working
* 60 FPS unavailable
