What don’t you like
for one, it drives me nuts that I can't have separate volumes for the ringer and notifications.
I’ll give you that. I would enjoy that feature, but it’s not something that would make me choose Android.
Keyboard lack symbol button on first page. Instead I have to switch to next page. For a ? mark.
App launcher. Can I select what apps go where? No if they decided that this app goes in that category tough luck.
Apple translate, the texts needs to fit on the sign! You can’t zoom or anything unless you take a picture.
No Bluetooth transfer.
Lack of foss apps.
So many places you need to turn off if you don’t want your phone give you suggestions or track you.
Keyboard, I can see how that would be annoying if you wanted it. You can install other keyboards.
The launcher is stupid, I agree.
Transfer is done via AirDrop
Tracking: Each manufacturers flavor of Android will have the same thing. (Unless you don’t use the OS that came with the device)
Airdrop don’t work with non IOS.
Are you sure about tracking? Because I can only compare to my pixel and my Motorola but I only need to go to three places to turn off things while Iphone I have to go to 5.
I could install other keyboard but it is already built in. I just want a toggle to enable it. But just for curiosity sake do you feel it goes, quite quickly to type a sentence with,?
Airdrop: right… there is a bit of ecosystemcentrism, to coin a phrase.
Tracking: 3 vs 5, I mean, once it’s set it’s set. Not really an issue for me.
I’ve gotten quite fast with the keyboard, and I don’t have a problem with the modifier combinations. When I go to Android, or any other mobile keyboard, it feels strange. But, this is entirely muscle memory for me, so I can understand if you think it doesn’t “feel right” when you use it.
