Wow, I felt like I was using a phone that was 5 years old.
I only imagine Apple users have Allegory of the Cave effect, they don't know whats out there. Leaving the cave is lots of work, so they enjoy whats available for them.
I don't really want to bash on people using Android. It's free OS after all and that's awesome, it allows many things that are not possible with iOS. But not everyone does not know what's out there. It's not like Android is some hidden treasure, it's everywhere and most people saw it, they just made a different choice.
You didn't post any in your comment.
Here are some random ones:
* When I have to enter pin (6 digits) I must press "OK". iPhone unlocks after 6-th digit automatically.
* It seems that Android app developers prefer the ad model. I don't have a single app on iOS with ads. Yet it's hard to find a single app in Android without ads. And I hate them.
* I spent something like 30 minutes trying to add a second phone number to my own android contact. I did not succeed. Theoretically I have to go to Google profile and add it there. But that button was not there. With iOS me is just another contact that I can edit as any other contact.
* To turn off all radios (airplane mode) I have to swipe from top, then swipe again to uncover the full menu, then swipe again to go to the right menu and only there I can click to enable airplane mode. With iOS it's one swipe and one click. I guess that I can customize this screen with Android and I can't with iOS... I don't want to bother, actually.
* I hate back button philosophy. I don't want to switch to other apps with back button. I prefer back buttons in app UI.
* I can't tap top bar to scroll to the top. Some websites provide that button as part of their UI, so may be it's just an iOS habit.
So Apple leaks the length of your password, Android does not. Okay.
> I don't have a single app on iOS with ads.
I don't have a single app on my Android with Ads. I pay for my apps to support the developers, otherwise I could easily add a hosts file or firewall to block ads in apps. I'm not an iOS user, so I don't know if a local hosts/firewall is possible with iOS.
> I spent something like 30 minutes trying to add a second phone number to my own android contact.
PEBKAC. I found it super easy. If I'm reading your comment correctly, you had to create two contacts for yourself just to have two phone numbers for yourself in iOS!?
> To turn off all radios
It's one swipe for Android too...
Your last two issues are just personal preferences.
Your comment is offensively patronising. Have you considered the chance you’re also suffering from bias of having used the same systems for years?
>Apple's podcast app was glitchy/laggy.
>Apple maps took me a 'long' way, but it didn't know traffic was bad. I give them a 50% pass.
>Apple maps telling you to turn at the last second...
>The home screen is not on the same level as Android, no widgets in 2019.
>Controls, I felt like things werent intuitive, but thats an opinion thing.
>Updates, oh my god, it seemed like every day I needed to update, and every time I needed to sign in, and enter password
>I didn't like the animations, they took too long. Maybe I could have turned them off.
I can't think of anything else about the iphone product, so I'll let everyone tell me these are 'features' that are great.
Then there is an entirely different list about Apple being 'evil', being anti-competitive, closed, hackable, anti-consumer, poor treatment of workers, etc.. I consider working and buying products from 'evil' companies bad capitalism. I don't see them doing anything to remedy these.
Frequent updates seems to be a good thing. I don't update myself often, and my phone complains may be once a week or month, definitely not every day.
My OG pixel is a clear upgrade.
