Interesting figure that comes out of the article: 87% of US teens prefer iPhones. Also the explanations given aren’t quite surprising, I guess it’s mostly because of iMessage. Teens will feel like outcasts if they get an Android phone while their friends still use iMessage because of the green bubbles.
It’s actually hilarious how we allowed consumerism to take us this far and that we have now peer pressure over smartphones.
“You’re telling me in 2023, you still have a ’Droid? […] You gotta be at least 50 years old.”
ouch 😔
Why the FUCK does the iphone not have a fucking BACK button? I have to search around to find the right button to hit to go back? Because it’s different in every page in every app, sometimes it’s “cancel”, sometimes it’s not even a button, I have to swipe down the keyboard or something. Fucking ridiculous, I hate iOS.
It’s 2023 get a fucking back button.
I’m so with you. Tiny shit you take for granted on android is like pulling teeth on that bullshit OS
I agree that having the back button is really nice for navigation, but there are maybe three or four ways to go back in general? (Swipe to the right from the left side of the screen, press a button in the top-left corner, and probably some others.) It doesn’t take more than a second to find out how to go back, and more often than not you can either swipe right or just press the button in the top left.
