I'm coming from a techy 30-something person with Android for years, but also had iPhone for work from 2014-2019. The UI of Nova Launcher on my S21 is so much more intuitive than Apple. Apple does everything through swipes. Swipes suck for several reasons, one of them being that I must swipe certain positions at certain speeds to get everything done. I miss buttons. Related: After two weeks of owning an iPhone 14, I was complaining about how I can't move my cursor in the URL field. It just kept highlighting words! My friend told me the super-intuitive iOS experience: hold down Spacebar to move your cursor. I'm glad that was covered in the non-existent tutorial. Then there are the anxiety inducing badges, the fact that settings is an app instead of a system menu, the fact that control center (or whatever the system drop down is) can't have nearly the function of Android's system drop down, the fact that notification center doesn't feel trustworthy or consistent, the fact that notification center shows me notifications from blacklisted apps even in focus mode... Android's UI just makes so much more fucking sense. And I hate that I am tempted now to go back to my S21 with inferior camera and DAC/bluetooth stack just to have software that makes sense. I acknowledge this is a rant and not as well put-together as most of my comments, but effing Hell, iOS is a mixed bag.
