What are some things you wish apple did better on iPhones, or some things you prefer that Samsung does better than Apple?

    Polish the ui. Take time to actually use their device now. Like I don’t think they actually use iPhones. It’s how broken iOS is.

    As an Android user since a week ago: Volume Control (alarm, notifications and ring tone always the same?), Gestures, Notifications, icon placement and the Keyboard.

      Yep, this is pretty much it. I’d also take Siri being able to read a summary of a question from the internet when asked instead of suggesting you look at the links on your phone.

      If I ask Google “what temperature should the oven be for chicken wings” it’ll reply “based on blah blah site the ideal oven temperature for crispy wings is 425° Fahrenheit.”

      If I ask Siri, she replies “I found this on the web” and supplies links. Okayish for if I ask the question on my phone, utterly useless if I ask on a HomePod or from across the room.

      Huh. I never noticed that period on the Safari keyboard. Had to go see it for myself. I guess I just never used it or accidentally touched it.

        Maybe you mainly type with your left thumb, if you even type with your thumbs at all. My right thumb does most of the work when typing, and I hit the period button 9/10 times and have done so since probably my first iPhone.

      I mean the safari search keyboard is also just a URL box. Would be kinda annoying to type out a url if the period isn’t immediately available.

      Back gesture exists, though. It works in all the apps I use regularly. Which apps do you find it to not work in?

    omg there’s a problem with iphone microphones the last 3 phones i’ve had have had this fault with the microphone that renders it unusable.

    Unable to use the microphone for the camera app, only using the camera via another app like snapchat or instagram for example.

    The problem got worse, less apps were supporting the microphones use with the camera. Then it stopped people hearing me during my calls.

    I was forced to put my phone on loudspeaker to answer and call people as it was the only time the mic would work. Then that started to become temperamental and i was forced to connect my headphones to take a call and use the mic on my headphones.

    I got all the components changed, to then be told it’s a software problem, updated the newest IOS and still a problem.

    This happened to my iphone 7 plus, iphone 8 plus and iphone XS…

    it felt like these problems would start happeneing when a new phone was brought out but that’s a discussion for another day…

    Now i’m on the iphone 11 lol

    I think Apple is dropping the ball with software quality in the last years. One thing that I loved about Apple OSs (both iOS and macOS) was it being almost bug free. Sometimes they ship new versions with broken features that were working completely fine before. (Ex: Bluetooth in macOS is completely unreliable in the last version)

    Honestly photo gallery improvements. MAINLY I wish there was a folder where ask your PHOTOS were separate from any images that you’ve saved, screenshots, etc. a true “camera gallery” where everything that was taken thru an iPhone camera lens was separated from all the downloaded junk memes and screenshots and wallpapers and stuff. Just imagine how nice that would be.
