Many useful apps i use in android cannot be found in ios…so how bro?

Because android is playing catch up with the UI, they didn’t really start honing in until around 2016-17. Apple with iOS was and is UI focused.

Fantastic design and materials.

And iOS is done in good taste.

Passed to iPhone (14 promax) some weeks ago from a glorious redmi11

I feel like the user experience is so much more comfy and fluid, addictive if you play games i guess?

I wouldn’t call it addictive for me, but I prefer it as I’m comfortable with it and it takes care of my needs/wants.

I happily give up some customization for optimization. I know all my apps will work and are built for a smaller line of iOS devices than thousands of different android models from tons of companies.

On Apple “it just works” and they worth more to me.

Cuz everything is better in iOS, that’s an undisputed truth, everything looks better, everything works better, everything feels better, everything sounds better.

Android is catching up lately, and I certainly hope it does, because competition is good for the users.

I wouldn’t say the iPhone per se is addictive - it’s the smartphone in general.

Probably most of the world owns at least a smartphone these days, and it keeps us connected to stuff we do all day - phone calls (a lot of people don’t have landlines anymore), social media, email, running a quick web search for something, etc.

The iPhone / Android is the brand you prefer to use.

For me, I’ve always been on iPhone, but I’ve had to assist customers and colleagues with issues on their Androids over the years. Any smartphone is easy enough to figure out the basics, no matter which brand you own; I just don’t care for Android’s UI that much. I like the way iOS handles things better. Is it perfect? Of course not. Are there features from Android that would be nice to have? Sure. There’s also being on an ecosystem and having spent a lot of money buying apps over the years that tends to keep me from switching, even if I wanted to.

I use iOS and One UI (Samsung’s version of Android) on a daily basis, and don’t really think one OS is better or smoother than the other. they’re completely different, but both really good in my opinion. There are certain features on each that I prefer but not enough so that I have a strong preference between the two. I don’t use a lot of social media apps and prefer web-based Facebook when I have to use Facebook but I do think Instagram is better on iPhone. I prefer the back universal back button on one UI and miss it when I’m using my iPhone. I hadn’t really thought about one being more addictive then the other, perhaps because One UI also has really great features and seems addictive as well,at least for me.😅

“Addicted to use” - this does not make sense. Do you mean ‘addictive’?

Phones are designed to retain your attention and keep you using them, not to mention the apps that also do this as well.

Feel the exact opposite everytime I pick up my partner’s iphone (13pm). The keyboards (tried all, incl swiftkey and gboard) are such a repulsive force for me. I just have to throw it back everytime I have to type a bit. How can anyone find ios keyboards anywhere close to intuitive.?

The only thing that kind of holds me in is the Shortcuts app. Kinda like playing around with it.

It kind of feels simplistic and easy to use. Its neat visually.

I find android to more addictive. You have the freedom of customization with just about anything you want. I actually prefer using iPhone because I don’t use it as much because it’s boring lol.

I think they use more salt and butter than they once did.

Maybe we shouldn’t be licking the phones so much?? 🤷‍♂️
