Lack of the back button is a huge pain in the ass Swipe from the left edge of the screen to right, that's the iOS back button.

Ah I see, I don't have an airtag. must be my neighbour's. In any case, I don't want to pay the penalty for maintaining the network for someone else's airtag :(

  You can turn this feature off in the Settings under the Find My settings.

    Nope, I turned it off in the setting in multiple places, still the battery usage shows "find my" usage

  If not your AirTag follows you, you'll get message informing you that someone is tracking you.

    I was mostly thinking about my neighbours having airbags in their own homes. There's an iPhone that I only use for dev, and it surprises me at how bad it keeps charge when it's basically not in use, whereas my old S8 has far better standby time.

      In the "Find my" setting there must be an option to turn off participation in the "Find my Network" which is the function of iPhone to act like a relay to other devices who want to advertise their position but don't have internet access.

From what I understood the "back gesture" is not universal - sometimes you still have to use that Back link on the top? Anyway, I'm returning to Android after 4 months for the same reasons. Lets see how this goes. I haven't found difference in the few apps that I use and since there is universal praise that iOS is smooth, every little hiccup called my attention. So, there are hiccups as well (lags, not responding to touches for half a second, etc)

  > From what I understood the "back gesture" is not universal - sometimes you still have to use that Back link on the top? It's actually universal when the App is built with the native UI components and it's part of Apple's App design guidelines. It doesn't work when the App is built with UI frameworks that don't adhere to this design convention. Sometimes even if the framework by default supports this, the devs can break it in an attempt to be creative but when it doesn't work, it means poor App design.

    Youtube app doesn't allow the back gesture when you are playing a video to return back to search results.
