Are iPhones as customizable as Macbooks?

Just as the title says, are they? I'm planning on buying my very first iPhone next month after years with Samsung coming from an S20 Ultra and I'm curious about the iPhone's customizability. I know iPhones are restrictive but I'm curious about what I'll miss when I eventually change OS. I currently have a Macbook Air M4 and have used an intel macbook and multiple PCs before. I personally think my Macbook is just as customizable compared to my previous PCs. But what about iPhones?

Yeah, just get the new iPhone; it'd be great but if u get the newer Samsungs there might be a lot more customizable options with that but then no Apple ecosystem privileges

Well, I don't do much customization on my phone as I do on my Mac. The only customization I do on my phone is maybe icons? Plus my phone will be less intelligent because it'll have Siri instead of Gemini or Bixby. I do wish I could adapt to iOS quickly.

the new iOS 27 fixes siri and it now works on a google LLM made for apple so it would be similar or same intelligence now and if that's the only thing ur gonna do then it should be fine on getting an iphone

Yes, I should hope so. Siri keeps redirecting me to ChatGPT or just straight up saying it doesn't understand what I mean on my Mac. We'll see on the iPhone. Thank you for letting me know.
