I'm on a Pixel now. Going back to iOS the moment the USB-C iPhone is on sale.
Sure, .apks, custom launchers, and things like GrapheneOS are nice, but Android is a shit show. Ux is all over the place and everything lacks polish overall.
I'm gonna have to disagree on that.
iPhones don't even have a universal back gesture. Sometimes you have to swipe a card down from the top of the screen, sometimes you have to hit a back button in the top left, sometimes you can use the back swipe gesture.
Moreover, the animations are slow, which makes the phone (depaite having an incredible processor) feel incredibly slow.
The keyboard doesn't give you a number row and it hides the period and comma behind another layer.
LastPass integration sucks compared to Android.
The UI scaling feels like you're using one of those remotes for old people. If I'm reading an email, content on Lemmy, my texts, etc. I can see only about 70% of the content I'd see on my Android.
You can't even free place icons in iOS.
And don't get me started on the notifications screen and the limitations in notification quick actions.
I tried to switch to a 14 Pro when I got my last phone, but I just couldn't deal with how frustrating the UI was. It's so slow and cumbersome to navigate around your phone and do stuff.
