Oh yeah, what details are those? That for the longest time, Apple thought too little of their users to allow them to store files on their phone? Or the fact that the iPhone massively over-processes photos, to the point where you can instantly tell that a photo is taken with an iPhone (and not in a good way)? Or the fact that they still use lightning connectors, which they have held a cramped grip on until they are forced to switch to new technology? Or the fact that the App Store, XCode, ObjectiveC and related docs are widely regarded to have the worst DX in the industry? Or maybe that you don't own your phone enough that you can sideload apps? Or the detail that you pay 10000% markup if you choose to buy a phone with extra storage?

- awestroke 4y agoI was actually wrong on this. iPhone still does not have proper files. I can't add files on my iPhone and have multiple apps read them.
- scarface74 4y agoYou definitely can. You can attach any standard USB drive to an iPhone/iPad and it shows up in the Files app as a storage source along with every other data storage provider you have installed (Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google drive, iCloud, the local device, etc.) Every app that reads and writes files shows your standard file picker that lets you load and save files that can then be shared across applications. This has been the case for years.
