> Every time you get a new android phone, you need to relearn new UI quirks specific to that device. “Everytime” is in fact every 3+ years in average! At this rate, even iOS changes its UX in a way you need to learn new stuff, and that's fine. And while there are undeniable differences from one device to another, it's a completely pointless metric! For the user the only thing that matter is what happens on your device. Pretty much no-one cares if their neighbors' phone is the same as their own, what matters is how easy it is to use your phone. Also I can tell you, as an Android user, it's orders of magnitude easier to use any other people's Android phone than it is to use an iPhone with its undiscoverable hand snaps to get to the previous screen! Long term iPhone users (and MacOs users for that matter) have internalized the idiosyncrasies of their platform, and forgotten that there's actually an non-trivial learning process. Obviously it's “much simpler” once you've already learned it, it's the kind of statements people make about the command line as well… |

Hey, let me try!
Also I can tell you, as an iPhone user, it's orders of magnitude easier to use any other people's iphones than it is to use an Android with its multiple runic symbols crammed together and baked into the OS that always takes up a portion of the screen! Long term Android users (and google users for that matter) have internalized the idiosyncrasies of their platform, and forgotten that there's actually a non-trivial learning process.
