10 would be impossible, it’s still up to developers to implement what the gesture does / where it takes you.

    Which is dumb because it should be an OS level gesture. Android has a swipe from the edge of any screen and it recognizes it as back. I would love to have an iPhone but the 14 Pro I had earlier this year just baffled me on how to go back a page sometimes and the dynamic island needs to open a quick response on messaging apps. And I just hate faceid. Other than that, better battery life is important. I currently have a zfold 4 and it's absurdly expensive but other than it's mediocre 7 hour screen on time, it's just so much easier to use.

    On Android it’s still up to the developers to implement where the back gesture takes you, just like it already is on iOS.

    You're kind of right but I mean where the back button is more so then what it does. I've used iOS apps where the back button is top left of the screen, I've used them where bottom left is, very rarely I've seen it in the top right. Android, it's baked into the OS. If I try to go back, I just do the back gesture and I go back. Doesn't have to be on a specific part of the screen.

    It’s not “baked into the OS”, though. It still has to be implemented by the developer of the app. Apple could enforce stricter approval rules, but there is nothing they can change at the OS level that would make it just work.
