Swipe gestures on Android is still superior (alien.top)

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?

I switched to iPhone recently and definitely noticed the difference in navigation, but I’ve pretty much already gotten used to it and don’t really think about it anymore. I do wish Apple would standardize this nonetheless and it would really help with one handed operation and reducing the need to adjust the phone in your hand.
