To be fair, iOS does not have a back button.

  It actually does, and it's part of UINavigationController, it's on screen and it clearly goes to the previous view.

    But only within the application. You cannot go back to the previous application.

      Maybe because that's a terrible idea that doesn't work in the real world. Android has proven it.

        But it does work for most applications, and it's quite slick. It's also very comparable to either a Browser 'back' or Windows Explorer 'back' functionality. Both can take you to places nowhere near where you are now, or they can take you just a bit further up in the current stack. Problems exist in both browser world and in Android world though, notably when developers (web devs and app devs) do things outside of spec - like constant redirects in browsers where you can't back out of reliably, or not closing out activities before adding more onto the stack.
