I moved to iOS over a year ago after using Android exclusively, and I agree that this was a discoverability downgrade. Editing text with various multi-finger gestures, shaking the device, or even putting the entire Photos app into a different mode to select multiple items are outright downgrades to what Android does.
The iPhone innovated finger-touch-based on-screen keyboards while everyone else was still typing with a stylus on a tiny keyboard, but since then, they seem to stagnate. iOS 16 just got haptic feedback on its keyboard in 2022(!), and I am still making more typing errors compared to Android with Gboard.

Redo the last edit: Swipe right with three fingers, then tap Redo at the top of the screen. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/type-with-the-onscreen-keyboard-iph3c50f96e/16.0/ios/16.0 https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/type-with-the-onscree...
- shepherdjerred 4y ago> iOS 16 just got haptic feedback on its keyboard in 2022 Wow thanks for letting me know. I finally have haptics again after switching to an iPhone 6 years ago. I totally agree with iOS having a worse typing experience. On Android with Gboard I could swipe/type extremely quickly with few errors. On iOS I make a mistake every few works, and the swipe accuracy is significantly worse. I know that there is Gboard with iOS, but I've had a lot of trouble with custom keyboards on iOS, so I've given up.
