Hi guys, I read everywhere that according to a lot of people Android with the One UI is the best operating system for phones on the planet and is infinitely better than iOS for countless reasons. I ask a question to those who have full knowledge of the facts because they use the two systems (iOS 17 & One UI 6) on a daily basis, thus knowing them in the smallest detail of real use: why is the One UI indisputably superior to the iPhone, which therefore does not have a shred of sense compared to Galaxy? What are the real-world details that make the iPhone a significantly poorer product than the Galaxy? Thanks to those who will want to answer!
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 😶
Oh, I have a back button and I also have no buttons on the bottom so the whole screen is free to show whatever I want. How about the top where iphone uses like a cm of screen to cover the “island”? The apple way of implementing no back is stupid and the top left fake back to the previous app is the pinnacle of stupid design.
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.
iOS gestures and intuitive can’t be used in the same sentence IMO, gesture that does not work in all apps/scenarios, and it’s on the wrong side of screen 💀
After I did try iOS myself I know why apple fans like small phones so much, coz you can’t use a bigger one with one hand, it is just so bad
