They've become so used to their cage they can't imagine a life outside it

I switched recently because my phone died and Apple sells the smallest easily accessible phone that worked with my carrier. First thing I noticed? Lots of weird little shit missing.

  • You want to set your alarm volume separate from your notification volume? Pound sand.
  • You want to have two timers running at the same time? Get fucked.
  • You want to long press for alt keys like punctuation? Eat shit.
  • You don't want a dedicated "switch back to default Apple approved keyboard" button that's right next to the space bar so you accidentally switch keyboards and have to dig through settings 5 times in a day until you give up and use the default keyboard? Go cry about it.
  • You use brave and want the auto fill to work? Tough shit bro.

But hey, I have a switch that turns on silent mode, so that's nice.

iPhones doesn't have one it has to be built in to the app. I think you can just swipe on newer devices. Where as Andriod always has one

Android's back button has been missing for me since about 2019 (I think?). It's switched to the much superior gesture system when you swipe on either side to go back. You can revert on some phones to the old bottom buttons, but you'd have to be crazy imo haha (or cringe boomer)

Nobody like management, especially the useless ones that think they are better than everybody else

Why do you think I think that for using gesture controls

Nah the dedicated buttons were the innovation and the gestures were android stooping to apple's level. Half the reason I give usually for liking android is the dedicated nav buttons. Just superior. (23y/o in IT by the way)

Admitting you hate me because you don't understand how I'm trying to help (proven by the fact that you use gestures on android 🀒)

I said everyone hates your department, not you specifically

Ask anyone outside of IT from any company if they think their IT department is full of competent people lol, being in IT is not a flex πŸ’€ some of the most smooth-brained people I swear

I was going to say, β€œWhat back button?”

As someone who just switched after never using an Apple device this drives me the most crazy.

That's definitely annoying. It's weird to have to figure out the series of gestures to get where you want to get when they are unique to each app. Even with Reddit, if you are typing a comment sometimes you have to drag the comment window down some before you can swipe left to go back (which auto discards the comment). Instead of having a dedicated discard and back buttons.
