    take a few extra taps and swipes than they would on Android

    I’ve swapped from iOS to Android and I very much have the opposite experience.

    Everything in Android feels just a little bit like someone somewhere went ‘well we have to put this option SOMEWHERE’ and just shoved it in, which leads to me fiddling in apps and system settings a lot more than I was on iOS.

    I’m happy to chalk it up to much more experience in iOS than modern Android, but it’s been kinda a pervasive experience.

    And, also related and annoying: googling ‘how do I change a thing’ routinely makes me nuts because how you do something seems to vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and even like, model to model.

    I guess it’s just… maybe iOS needs more button presses, but Android is utterly inconsistent as to where something might be which means you spend a little more time digging for a specific thing than you might on iOS which leads to the impression that you’re hitting a lot more buttons to do something, even if maybe the actual number of presses would be lower if you knew exactly how to do it.
