I don't really consider myself an Apple fanboy (anymore), but there are indeed a few features in both iOS and macOS that I wouldn't want to miss, like backup. I just got new iPhones for myself an my son... moving to the new phones, including moving all data, took less than an hour.
Actually, Android seems to do that too. My old smartphone died in mid-February but when I got a new one a couple of weeks later most of the apps, data and settings came back (that, and I had a habit of storing what user data I had on the phone on a SD card in it...) Of course some things need to be set to be synchronized (I learned this the hard way when the first time around I set the phonebook to be "local only" and the first demise of that phone took it all away... the second time I made it attached to a google account which I had anyway).
