How about being able to edit a copied phone number? Like maybe I want to add a country code? No, the only way to do it is to make a new contact and then edit it? Ok…

Or how about search a pdf on my phone? Really? I can’t? Huh… so random…

The phone number editing is the bane of my existence. I also want the option to automatically set the country code of a new number to either the current country I'm in or the country my SIM card is from.

> Or how about search a pdf on my phone?

Open it in iBooks, which also runs ocr on the pdf, and hit the magnifying glass.

I’ll try it, thanks!

Onedrive works well too.

That's so weird, that's the first option on Android if you long-press a number on the call history.

The inability to add mp3 files to music in the phone is ridiculous. Round-tripping through "Files" or whatever when I can't quickly access my computer is just so obnoxious.

I had an iphone for like 3 years before I found out how to do text search in Safari. Not sure why they make it so hard to find.

My favourite is that giving in and clicking the “open in app” banners on Reddit etc just take me to the App Store page for Reddit, even though I have the actual app installed already.

You have to long-press on the link and press 'Open in "Reddit"'. Not sure why.

Pardon my ignorance but I sort of assumed that was reddit's fault because I can't name a single other site/service I use that does that. I guess that's not the case?

I have the same problem with Youtube links. Doesn't seem like a reddit only issue.

I have no issue with links opening directly into the YouTube app.

i think it might do that when the app has an update pending?

Apollo just auto-redirects to the app for me. Maybe it’s an issue with the official Reddit app or a config value somewhere?

If you long press `open in app`, then it shows `open reddit` and that solves it

Oh, I didn't mean to start an iPhone rant, but if we're going there...

* Let me put the icon where I want it. seriously. if my OCD wants this icon on bottom right of my screen, let me!

* Let me have an icon in multiple places. if my OCD wants this app in both "Media" and "Entertainment" folder, let me!

* Allow me to put stuff onto the phone. Via USB. Like every other god damn device in the world.

* Allow me to take stuff off my phone. Via USB. Like very other freakin' device in the world.

(my wife knows the exact shriek that comes out of my home office every ~6months when I try to take all my photos off my iPhone or put some videos onto it for travel. I've given up every time. My co-workers who love iPhone always have a wonderful system that sounds like "Email it to yourself then FTP it to your dropbox account and then download it in the browser and then..... - I assume that's how XKCD got the idea https://xkcd.com/763/)

* Downloading and opening files is an incredible hit and miss of what happens where and how.

* 3.5mm. And yes I blame Apple for starting the trend :)

I have a list somewhere I wrote down when people ask me why my phone is called "iHateApple". I'll see if I can dig it up :)

You need to use iTunes. There’s a file transfer tab somewhere. Or wait, it’s Finder now. They took the syncing out of iTunes. It’s also not called iTunes anymore I just realized. Ok, I’m old. :p

Now imagine a Windows user like myself.... :O

Not to get in the way of a good rant, but https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MJYT2AM/A/lightning-to-sd... lets me copy photos to the phone just fine.

In which way does that allow me to move the files from computer to phone viabusb phone like every other device in the world?

The top four here are pretty much the biggest reasons I use an Android rather than an iPhone

I can't help but add... Please let me set the snooze timeout on alarms. Hard coded to seven minutes, really?

Have they fixed "an unattended iPhone alarm rings... forever" yet? I'm sure that's probably lead to disaster on more than one occasion. Imagine someone forgets an iPhone living next door to a shift worker? Alarm goes off and... never stops.
