iPhone is a nice piece of hardware, but the OS has lots of room for improvement.

  1. Better robocall blocking
  2. Call screening similar to visual voicemail
  3. Better voice assistant
  4. Wait for me on hold feature that listens for a person
  5. Visual phone trees so you don’t have to listen to phone tree systems on customer service calls.
  6. RCS for better cross platform communication
  7. A better notification system with built in interaction systems.
  8. Better app icon movement experience and the ability to put app icons anywhere.
  9. Default map app choice similar to browser and email
  10. Universal back gesture that works everywhere consistently

10 would be impossible, it’s still up to developers to implement what the gesture does / where it takes you.

Which is dumb because it should be an OS level gesture. Android has a swipe from the edge of any screen and it recognizes it as back. I would love to have an iPhone but the 14 Pro I had earlier this year just baffled me on how to go back a page sometimes and the dynamic island needs to open a quick response on messaging apps. And I just hate faceid. Other than that, better battery life is important. I currently have a zfold 4 and it's absurdly expensive but other than it's mediocre 7 hour screen on time, it's just so much easier to use.

Just from an RSI point of view, Android does gesture-back much better than Apple.
