To be fair the island is interactive so you aren’t losing space at the top, well, I guess I should say it doesn’t feel like you’re losing space because obviously it does house some cutouts. It works really well from a UI perspective :)

The top left corner previous app icon doesn’t need to be used as you can simply swipe horizontally along the bottom of the screen. Or if you prefer give it a little upward motion without lifting and then you get a dock-like view to switch between any open apps.

Only if apple stop innovation on their own hardware which is due to happen just abouuuuuut checks watch never

I’ve found it infinitely more difficult to compose and send a text message on android. It seems to have more steps to complete than iOS does which, like why?

iOS is designed to be intuitive so you’ve hit the nail on the head by drawing conclusions to children because quite literally everyone is able to use it with ease. Isn’t that what we all want though? Three steps instead of seven to complete the same task?

The highly restricted operating system is its biggest advantage funnily enough. The iOS App Store filters out malicious apps, the google play store wants to do the same but fails on a large scale putting its users at greater risk. It’s quite a significant difference.

Both operating systems have pros and cons, both are geared toward different people but we’ll always have users of both that will fight tooth and nail to claim supremacy 🤷🏻‍♂️

How does the Samsung watch work better than the Apple Watch?

I’m going to cop it on this sub (this thread just came up in my feed) but everything you described is what my experience of android has been. Just utter pain to use with lots of bugs.

Btw the reason there’s no back button on iOS is because you use gestures instead, it frees up screen real estate and is far more intuitive.

Ok ok now go on with the flaming I’m ready 😶
