recently switched to iphone and some crucial things are missing or not in a good place, which has soured the otherwise niceties:
- no way to record phone calls: missing the ability to relisten to the calls after the fact has costed me a lot of problems.
- keyboard woes: some of it can be down to muscle memory but the default keyboard felt very unresponsive at first and is still a struggle at times. it is broken in Discord app for some reason (might be down to that app itself)
- ALARMS!: how can someone build an alarm app that randomly goes SILENT ON SNOOZE?! maybe it is the world nudging me towards fixing my sleep cycle, but this is ridiculous.
- backups: i had to make a huge compromise by forgoing with syncthing because there is no free and open-source way around it. even syncing to cloud services with encryption has little to no options. (please send help if you know something that works)
- personalization sucks even today: imagine using a music creation app to create ringtones or notification tones. even then they don't work consistently across apps!
besides this, i see some progress thanks to EU and other international regulations. but i doubt that it will impact these silly design choices which don't have any anti-competitive stuff around it.
