    Everything about Apple software rubs me the wrong way. It’s like it’s wired opposite to my brain. I had a mac laptop for years and pretty much hated it.

    I’ve used iPhone sporadically (and developed for them on one project) and you can’t change the things I’d want to change. I dislike the home screen grid and they added widgets far too late. It took them multiple years to semi-fix notifications. The lack of a back button still perplexes me, especially when one app launches another.

    Unfortunately I’m increasingly feeling that Android is a buggy mess too. Android 12 was a complete disaster and my phone is still messed up from it (some apps still don’t get notifications) even though I’m now on 13. Google is focusing on the wrong things IMO but I don’t think I’d last 48h on iPhone. I actually preferred Windows Phone to iOS. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think iPhone is a bad product in any way (except how closed everything is), it works for a lot of people - just not me.
