  • 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.

    Absolutely agree, the notifications are still a mess and the lack of a back button can be headache.

    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.

    I do miss the Windows phone, Microsoft really dropped the ball, but it could’ve been a game changer. Also on Google’s direction with Android? Yeah, I think Google as a company has made some cool things, but their track record for creating and abandoning projects has really rubbed me the wrong way, and it is leaving me thinking if I should consider other avenues, but the grass is always greener on the other side, and there is no “better” option, just what you can tolerate the most.








  • I can sideload any app I want, and install open source apps from F-Droid

    Going to shoutout Jerboa for Lemmy, it’s working really well surprisngly even though it’s in a very early stage of development.

    I can use projects like ReVanced to install modified apps effortlessly, and don’t have to go through the AltStore/Apple Developer BS to install simple things like uYou

    I don’t know how Apple plans to handle the EU law for sideloading, but currently you can only sideload an app for 7 days with free software like AltStore, it’s really not fun lol.

    I can entirely replace my home screen with a different launcher app if I wanted to

    Launchers are such a game changer, I hope they continue to thrive!
