Hi guys, I read everywhere that according to a lot of people Android with the One UI is the best operating system for phones on the planet and is infinitely better than iOS for countless reasons. I ask a question to those who have full knowledge of the facts because they use the two systems (iOS 17 & One UI 6) on a daily basis, thus knowing them in the smallest detail of real use: why is the One UI indisputably superior to the iPhone, which therefore does not have a shred of sense compared to Galaxy? What are the real-world details that make the iPhone a significantly poorer product than the Galaxy? Thanks to those who will want to answer!
I’ve always had the impression that Apple devices are designed for children. It seems like Apple doesn’t fully trust its users and implements a highly restricted operating system to prevent any actions that deviate from their planned user experience. It’s almost as if Apple’s developers have a limited perspective and can’t accommodate different usage scenarios beyond their predefined scope, resulting in constraints on user freedom.
The iOS interface, with its unchanging and brightly coloured icons, comes across as somewhat superficial. The user interface lacks intuitiveness, as some apps use a red bin icon for deletion, while others simply display the word “delete” in plain text, creating inconsistency and the need to search for options. Gesture controls are minimal, and customization options for gestures are practically non-existent. Contextual menus often prove unhelpful, and the file management system is far from ideal, with the exception of the color tagging feature.
To me, iOS feels like an operating system designed for either children or older individuals. In fact, many of my less tech-savvy friends own iPhones and feel completely lost when trying to send an urgent text message from an Android device. This observation reinforces my perception that iOS is an operating system that holds your hand tightly, making sure you don’t make any unwise decisions.
It’s worth noting that I don’t have any qualms with iPhone users; my reservations are primarily directed towards Apple’s operating system and philosophy.
There will be a lot of bias since you’re asking on here.
You should ask the same or post this in Apple and get their thoughts on this too.
I like both
Battery life is great on apple
Almost every aspect of my experience, from the lock screen (widgets, music, shortcuts) - to the home screen (fully themed KWGT setup) - to the back-end add-ons (sidebar, gestures, bixby routines) - is COMPLETELY CUSTOMISED to my usage preferences.
Instantly makes me a power user, in a realm that most iOS users can’t even comprehend. And for comparison, all this would barely qualify as above average in the Android power user world.
