Hi,

I am not an iPhone user, but if what you have described above are problems that a significant number of iPhone users face, then I am pretty surprised/disappointed.

All of these would be hampering user experience ( something Apple excels at ) irrespective of whether the user is a casual one or a heavy one.

Also, if these problems are easily reproducible and quite prevalent, isn't Apple solving these in upcoming upgrades? In other words, they must be getting some kind of feedback/bug-reports and these problems should surely have to be part of that.

Given its financial performance, I can only imagine that iOS's quality is priority #0, #1, and #2 through 10 at Apple. From an anecdotal perspective, it has all gotten a great deal better over the years.

As noted by other posts, most of the issues are with OSX applications rather than with iOS.

To be honest, I think that the storage/backup issue is a legacy design issue with iOS. Unlike Android, iOS was never originally designed to be a standalone OS. Apple designed iOS to sync heavily with iTunes, which led to a lot of this "if you just restore from a backup, it'll magically be fixed" nonsense. Apple's started to move away from that, and more towards iOS being it's own thing with the OTA updates and by giving users a lot more control over storage usage through the device itself instead of iTunes, but they still haven't really broken away from it's necessity.

Those are mostly problems with Mac OSX(except the storage issue on the iPhone).
