I'll list my problems, I don't expect this to go over well, but since you asked-
>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.
Apple apps have nothing to do with iOS. You can use many apps. I'm using 4 different map apps and Apple maps is not among them. Check out google maps for example or try to find one that local people used (I had good experience with TomTom in Europe). iOS has widgets on other screens, home screen is just apps launcher. Controls are opinionated indeed and I feel myself better in iOS world without that strange "back" button which can do anything. Not sure about animations, I think that there are settings in accessibility options for those, but I'm not sure, never was an issue for me.
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.
Your comment is offensively patronising. Have you considered the chance you’re also suffering from bias of having used the same systems for years?
