> - There's reproducable little bugs that annoy me. For example when I initially boot up the phone, I can't tap the password field to open the on-screen keyboard. It doesn't work. I have to turn the screen off and turn it back on, and then I can open the keyboard
I've also noticed bugs with the PIN input, where it just won't register touches at first when the screen turns on, leading to a missed digit at the start.

This is 100% an issue on Android now too. Not sure when they made the change, but certs result in a dialog essentially saying "go to settings."
You may be overthinking things. Just tap the bar. :)
I haven't used iOS in years though, maybe if I was used to it then tapping would have been my first impulse. Do you often have to tap on the top/bottom of the screen to do things?
For future reference, you tap the green bar.
> approve it in some well hidden sub-section
I have a feeling this might be deliberate friction to make social engineering harder.
- There's a greater reliance on gesture-based tricks, which I find unintuitive and undiscoverable
- I often feel stressed when using the iPhone because I can't figure out how to do basic things while under time duress. This is as simple as hanging up on a call I had on speaker and left to navigate to other apps: There's the green bar at the top indicating I'm still in the call, but I cannot figure out how to get back to it. If I swiped it out it's gone from the multi-tasking overview (without ending it), and unlike in Android you can't drag down the notification tray and access the call via a notification bubble

- There's flows that admittedly are used rarely but that are enormously clunky. If you open a certificate file to import, you get a frigging dialog box telling you to manually go to the Settings app and approve it in some well hidden sub-section. Why doesn't the dialog offer you a jump straight into there? These kinds of flows of composing screen pages from different apps into sequences is something Android does extremely well with the Activities concept
- The Share flows feel underdeveloped vs. Android
etc.
