Those are great examples of why iOS will never take over the entire phone market regardless of how much better a user-experience they have. Low price is another prominent "feature" that you can't get in an iPhone.
Apple is interesting in that they don't try to be everything for all people. They find a niche (usually a very profitable one) where they can execute better than the competition and they don't try to eat the whole pie. What other tech companies are like that? Nintendo?

- lern_too_spel 4y agoI would say that not being able to filter notifications trashes the user experience. It's like not being able to filter email. Nobody who uses their phone or email for productivity would put up with it.
- mcphage 4y agoFilter notifications how? On iOS you can allow or prevent notifications on an app level, and control a bunch of things about how they appear. Do you mean filtering based on the text, so that you allow some notifications from an app but prevent others? I'm curious about what you can do on Android.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoYes, filter based on content of the notification. Android has the concept of notification channels, so apps can send notifications of different types on different channels that users can individually enable or disable, which is already significantly better than iOS, but for heavy users of notifications who want to minimize distractions, even that isn't enough, so I have my own notification filtering rules as well.
- armadsen 4y agoI use my iPhone for productivity. I’ve never felt the need to filter notifications. It does seem like a nice feature. But “nobody would put up with it” is pretty hyperbolic.
