User experience. It’s well designed and more importantly app developers have to adapt their apps to only a few iOS phones and respect strict Apple guidelines. Hence more polished apps
Plus developers prioritize Apple over Android because they get more $$$ from Apple users.
But one of the things I like so much in iOS that I get annoyed it’s not on Android is the swipe from left to go back. Most apps implement this and I use it all the time.
That's been on android for years and it's actually way better imo. I switched to iPhone with the 15 and love it but a big gripe is how inconsistently the swipe left gesture works
Yeah, I switched to the 13 mini and it took me a while to get used to all the various ways devs implement a back function. I really wish you could always swipe in from the left to go back on iOS. Leaving stuff like that up to devs instead of being OS wide is a bad idea. Same with dismissing a stack of DM notifications from one place instead of just the one you click on.
This is one of my gripes with iOS. It's annoying that the swipe gesture for back doesn't always do the same thing everywhere. In some apps it will reveal a menu, in others it will go back.
I love the back gesture on Android that just does the same thing globally.
