I was there was an alternative to iPhone that just works, the UI is consistent and "shallow" and the defaults are sane. I keep an Android phone around for the lolz. Sometimes I can do what I would like when there is no interruption from random weird software components and the weather app does not want to have access to the microphone.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoI have a Pixel phone and I love it. I honestly get super frustrated when I use an iPhone. There are so many hidden gestures and swipes that you just have to know, and if you're not a frequent user it's a painful experience. Of course, I totally understand that it's just a matter of what you're used to, but Pixels have some fantastic features like their handling of spam calls and on-hold features, not to mention that Google Assistant is leaps and bounds better than Siri.
- datadeft 4y agoI have a iPhone SE II and a Huawei P30 and I refuse to buy newer / more expensive phones. All of needs were met when iPhone 5s came out and 99% of new features are just pointless. Unfortunately we live in a world partially thanks to Google where version 1.0 is grossly underrated. Btw. what are those gestures you are talking about? I am pretty much a boomer when it comes to using software and my 2 year old son could show me new features of Youtube for example but I was not aware of any hidden gestures...
