1 Day of iPhone

• Can't use modern web browsers
• Can't put icons wherever I want
  • https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/move-app-icons-anywhere-your-iphones-home-screen-without-jailbreaking-0160521/
  • 👆🏻 what the fuck lmao
• Can't expand dock bar (5+ icons)
• Can't customize icons
• Can't use useful gestures
  • double tap to open notification
• Can't use a good keyboard
  • Alternative works in some cases, but Apple takes over - for example - in password fields
• (See above) Can't type numbers and letters at the same time
  • Requires taps to get numbers (!!!???) and then taps to get back to letters, EVERY TIME.
• Have to tap "Done" to unfocus / leave input field (What the fuck?!)
• Can't use feature-rich messaging apps (e.g. PulseSMS); Apple requires using Messages
  • I can turn off iMessage to avoid routing every message through Apple's servers, but that's a very small improvement - it's still an instant messenger
• Can't seem to stop it from making "message sent" noise.
  • This seems like it should be a setting, but it's one I haven't been able to find.

2 Days of iPhone

• Screenshots are INSANELY easy to take, and I have to delete 5-15 screenshots per day
• Gestures continue to be awful
  • Getting around is awful
  • The only way I can figure out to find certain things is by searching for it (what?!) or by finding it in the "recent" stuff in the right-side pull drawer.
• Momentum scroll seems to be arbitrarily limited to a "faster than usual" scroll
  • Getting through long or infinite lists is a massive pain because it seems to be something like "3x a finger swipe" and that's the maximum speed. I can't add momentum by swiping more.

3 Days of iPhone

• Gestures are still garbage
  • Back tap (I'm using home and app list) helps slightly, but it's very extremely unreliable, to the point of being useless
• Can't add useful links to home screen
  • Video call partner
  • Partner's maps location
  • Icons to any app intent, basically
• So many ads, I've never seen more ads, even when I was using the phone from the ad company
  • App store search is always full page ad (always unrelated to my search)
• Have to unlock EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. the screen turns off
  • This is essentially the epitome of "security" over utility
  • Phones that are actually smart have nuanced algorithms that leave it unlocked as long as it's still on your body, you've set it on a surface, etc.
