I know this topic has been discussed many times in the past. I really wanted to give an iPhone a try coming from an Android, but the navigation on the phone seems to be a huge downgrade.

The back button is in most applications out of reach with one hand. And swiping on the right edge is not user friendly for a right hander.

On android you can do that from both sides and it makes the overall experience much smoother!

Will apple ever catch up with android?

    Honestly hard disagree

    One of the things I liked the most switching from Android a few years ago was the swipe gestures. They feel so much smoother and more natural on iOS

    Guess I’ll see soon, in a few days I’ll be one of those dumbasses with two phones and two phone plans 🙃 (getting a Pixel 8)

      I have both iPhone and Android phones, because I’m mobile app developer. My primary phone is the iPhone. Android only for testing apps, and rarely use. I find navigation on iOS way better. I think this is maybe a habit. I’m using iPhone as my primary phone since iPhone 4. All that years I own Android too, and never considered making the Android phone my primary use device.
