[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) I would never go back to android. When an apple update comes out fixing issues I can get it for my phone. With android you never know if an update will reach your phone. Android is a complete shit show. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BananaTrifleViolin@kbin.social 0 points 3 years ago (2 children) It cuts both ways. I'd never go to iOS because they prevent me from using my preferred web browser as part of vendor lock-in. Everything is heavily channelled through the Apple Store and ecosystem so they can take their cut. It depends what is most important to you. I prefer more freedom and control over my device. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] bob_wiley@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) You can root your android device and gut almost all the Google taint. Hell, you can do a lot of that already without rooting with the f-droid marketplace and then download Karma Firewall to block any outgoing traffic for any app you choose. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] bob_wiley@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] clegko@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Do you mean your preferred browser, or preferred browser rendering engine? I'm fairly certain all of the major browsers are available on iOS, but they all have to use the built-in Webkit engine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Imajustlayhere@kbin.social -3 points 3 years ago (2 children) You have to use safari, unless they changed that, you aren't allowed to change the default browser. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Plebajer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago* The default browser can definitely be changed.

Going back to iOS the moment the USB-C iPhone is on sale. Sure, .apks, custom launchers, and things like GrapheneOS are nice, but Android is a shit show. Ux is all over the place and everything lacks polish overall. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago I'm gonna have to disagree on that. iPhones don't even have a universal back gesture. Sometimes you have to swipe a card down from the top of the screen, sometimes you have to hit a back button in the top left, sometimes you can use the back swipe gesture. Moreover, the animations are slow, which makes the phone (depaite having an incredible processor) feel incredibly slow. The keyboard doesn't give you a number row and it hides the period and comma behind another layer. LastPass integration sucks compared to Android. The UI scaling feels like you're using one of those remotes for old people. If I'm reading an email, content on Lemmy, my texts, etc. I can see only about 70% of the content I'd see on my Android. You can't even free place icons in iOS. And don't get me started on the notifications screen and the limitations in notification quick actions. I tried to switch to a 14 Pro when I got my last phone, but I just couldn't deal with how frustrating the UI was. It's so slow and cumbersome to navigate around your phone and do stuff. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) I did not have a chance to try Pixel phones. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CharlestonChewbacca@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago Well your issue doesn't exist on Pixel phones. permalink fedilink source parent
