Swipe gestures on Android is still superior in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Apple does not support this gesture in its apps either. Example: if you go to your profile from the App Store (top right icon) then you can't go back comfortably from the bottom, you have to go up with your finger to the top of the screen.

WTF iPhone 16 60Hz? (alien.top)
 

As Ross Young had already confirmed in his rundown that later turned out to be perfectly identical to reality, it seems that the next standard iPhones will also be 60 Hz only. This is becoming a ridiculous situation, how can we give money to such a company? By now 120 Hz is something that Android manufacturers rightfully put even on the low end products. By the way, even iPhones Pro hardly ever exceed 90 Hz, so it's not even real 120 Hz. What a disaster.

What are the things you like about Iphones? in c/[email protected]

The things I love about iPhone are MagSafe, Portrait mode, screen calibration. Unfortunately, however, there are also serious drawbacks compared to Android, such as the lousy keyboard, slow animations, fake browsers, lack of a universal backward method, and more.

What the hell is happening to IOS? My phone is not the reliable piece of tech that I used to love. I'm now afraid of updating the OS. (rant) in c/[email protected]

Confirmed. Android 14 with the One UI 5.1-6 is much more stable and performant than iOS 17.

How do you deal with this? in c/[email protected]

Yeah. What are you gonna do? Come back to Android or stay with iPhone? I’m undecided

How do you deal with this? (alien.top)
 

Hi guys! I have a problem with iOS. The freaking back gesture. It's not consistent. You often have to go to the upper part of the screen to go back and it makes you loose time and destroys the one-handed usability of the phone. It's a severe problem especially on the Max models. I also noticed that iOS freezes the input during some animations, resulting in a even slower experience. I find myself being way faster on Android for everyday tasks and it's a shame because iPhone has the most powerful SoC ever. Do you have any solutions? I love many things of iPhone but this problem is major, since it's about everyday usability at all times. How can Apple ignore such a basic thing? Thank you!

What’s one thing you think iPhone is still lacking? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

  1. the keyboard is bad and the alternatives work even worse

  2. iOS is slow: animations are extenuating and there’s some sort of input block that prevents you from tapping in some cases. Also, sometimes swipes get stuck on the X axis if you are moving on the Y and vice versa. Android is significantly faster

  3. browsers cannot use their own engines and add-ons. They’re all Safari. But with no add-ons.

  4. there is no universal way to go back to the previous screen when using apps. Sometimes you are forced to contort your hand to go with your finger to the top of the screen to press a tiny icon (so the first attempt may even fail)

  5. there is no way to create albums separate from the main camera roll

  6. apps cannot operate in the background (with a few exceptions). You are basically forced to stare at the screen like a codfish if an app is doing something. You can't get out and do anything else, or the process will freeze. Is this even definable as “Pro”?

  7. It is unacceptable that the screen is still at 60 Hz. The price of iPhone (standard) is 1000€ in EU.

  8. here in Europe, iOS has neither built-in spam filter nor live voicemail to answer phone calls by artificial voice like on Google & Samsung

  9. you can't install open source apps outside the App Store

  10. much more, I got tired of writing

What do you use to browse? Safari, Chrome, Google etc? in c/[email protected]

Firefox. Way faster than Safari even if it’s still WebKit
