Apple

Like the title says, coming from android (more specifically pixel)

I did enjoy the inital promise of customization offered on android devices, but for whatever reason Google has done away with huge portions of that freedom and weirdly “pure android” has started to feel more like IOS.

Much to my pleasant surprise apple has fixed a huge number of my complaints with iOS since my last iPhone 7 years ago. To be frank I used to shit on iPhone but am eating a lot of crow here admitting that they definitely fixed most of their shortcomings and are clearly pulling away in the smartphone race (like you needed me to tell you that)

That being said… HOW HOW HOW is the iPhone keyboard so bad? I know this sounds like a small problem but when I last used an iPhone years ago, the period placement (near the space bar) caused me to constantly fat finger random periods into most of my searches and messages. It’s hideous design and I can’t understand for the life of me how apple hasn’t solved this wart of a problem. Especially because I KNOW that most people who work at apple are aware of the issue because it affects basically anyone with an iPhone! LOL

Not only is it an old, know issue, but it’s an obvious one that actually causes inconvenience. Not just the period, the entire board is cramped and it’s genuinely difficult to type on compared to Gboard, which I am using now to type this. It took me a few days to realize I could use gboard on IOS and HOLY SHIT is the difference night and day. I actually feel bad for all the people (most) using the stock iOS keyboard. It was like being stuck in hell lol

Just bewildered by how apple has solved so much yet somehow ignored this simple fix for going on a decade
