after 15 years, iOS has finally caught up with all the main android features, such as

  • very mid ui design
  • kinda floaty feeling
  • unpolished vibe android itself has progressed little, although it is rapidly achieving feature parity with iOS on “locked down user hostility”. overall both ecosystems look very appealing, energetic, and healthy, for shareholders

    Every phone has widgets. That’s not customizing a UI element. If you change the colors and fonts of everything, if you have an opinion on the minimize animation, if you spend more time ricing your machine than using it, you’re a dork.

      Just to clarify: Android had widgets from the very beginning. iOS got widgets in version 14.

      Ability to change colors and fonts are accessibility features, animation can be distracting and frustratingly long, what’s dorky about trying to change the behaviour of device instead of changing yourself to meet some dorks expectations on how things should look and feel?

        If you honestly believe I’m talking about people with legitimate reasons to change these things then you’re an even bigger dork.
