Still, `Done` button, or `Back` button, or `Edit` are not in the same place in every app. Some apps are `Swipe Left` to delete, some are `Swipe Right`. Not sure what is more frustrating — different looks with different usage patterns for every app; or same look with subtle differences and no way to predict what's where in a new app, or the app you haven't opened for a while.

It's an individual thing. Personally calling someone or managing phone call options on an IOS device frustrates me. There is a whole lot that is not intuitive and hardly dis·cov·er·a·ble. To another extent I find IOS and Apple users that are technologically-illiterate find it hard to adapt or understand other system interfaces. Everyone will have to decide if they get frustrated on their own...

  Discoverability is a whole other thing with Apple — if it is not immediately obvious, you have almost 0% changes to discover it on your own. For example, you can show iMessage timestamps by "pulling" them from right edge of the screen to the left.

The back button is almost universally located in the upper left corner and is accompanied by the standard swipe right gesture to pop the top of the stack. You're not going to find many apps that implement a custom navigation controller in iOS, and if an app does then it probably doesn't change this behavior. The same goes for the swipe to delete accessory item, as that is another standard iOS UIKit thing. I can't speak for minor buttons like edit and compose etc, but those differences are honestly not very significant to the end user since it's a non-hidden textual nav item.

  I'm just frustrated that there is no consistency. Even Apple does this: Messages.app is swipe left to delete, and Mail.app is swipe right. But you can't just swap in Messages, you have to swipe and press a button; which is not the same in the Mail.
