This is fantastic. I consider iOS far superior in so many ways over Android. Except that it is locked down so much. If iOS becomes more open, there will be nearly no reason to get an Android.
> Android rules except in one aspect - battery life.
This is like saying Windows is better than Linux for battery life, which is obviously ridiculous because it's primarily about the hardware, not software. Put Android on Apple's excellent silicon and watch how suddenly "Android" has really good battery life.
Anyway, both are disgusting passive consumption oriented walled gardens, and phones in general are terrible computers as software goes.
Locked downness is a non issue coming from a previous android fanboy. iOS is just superior in every way. No I don’t care that you can change some font on your android phone.
I can swipe to go back on either side on Android, while on iPhones the 2 options is a swipe from the left or a button ON THE TOP LEFT OF THE SCREEN usually. With my right hand, even going back one page in the settings app is a chore on small iPhones, while being comfortable on even the largest Android phones. Who thought this was a good idea? So much of the common requires uncomfortable gestures / button presses.
Agree with all of this.
Apps are so much better on iOS. I have been on Android since the G1, but switched to iPhone with the 14 Pro Max.
Here were the apps I switched to using when moving over to iOS. I consider every switch superior on iOS vs what I was using on Android.
JuiceSSH: ShellFish
OneTracker: Parcel
Smart AudioBook Player: Prologue
Plex client: Infuse is superior to Plex and direct-plays everything
MX Player: Infuse replaces MX Player for local playback too
Plex Dash: Varys (Plex Dash is also available on iOS, but Varys is superior)
Embiggen: Big
Markor: 1Writer
RealCalc: RPN 30
Overdrop: Apple Weather
Shredder Chess: Hiarcs & Shredder Chess.
SwiftScan: ScanPro (I use this to scan work receipts)
Todo app - Things (and Superlist)
