Also, Android has split screen, which is pretty useful. For these reasons alone, iOS feels outdated.
Other things I hate are all the hidden UI elements. You have to do a Google search to find out how to do things. For example, to close all Safari tabs, you have to press and hold a button. There’s tons of stuff like this. Searching for a word on a Safari webpage is incredibly fickle and still hard to get to. Text editing and the keyboard are awkward and frustrating as well. In general, I find a huge amount of hidden friction on iOS that I don’t find on Android.
afaik there's a setting for that (feature not a bug :)
Try sending media in whatsapp or post a media in Instagram/Facebook in low network condition and putting the app in background. It is literally impossible to do this in iPhone.
turns out you need to toggle a setting in photos with the least helpful label ever. there is no indication this is the fix from the ios or PC side, and you can even transfer a few files over before the error pops up: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8351572

on an android phone, the phone just shows up as a drive and lets you transfer any photos normally, "it just works" lmao
Despite this, I still found iOS way too restricted even for average user. The fact you can't install 3rd party app alone makes certain daily task very miserable. I can't use Youtube vanced to skip ADs on YouTube, for example. The browsers suck due to forced webkit engine too.
I do think Apple's hardware and HW/SW integration better, and I think Android should be more open (every major version, you have fewer and fewer things you can modify without rooting).
