well if you think that buying a phone, flipping it and buying another is saving money, then i can sorta get how your brain would reach the conclusion that not getting something you didn't have in the first place is equivalent to having that thing taken away

i have some friends, particularly the android devs, who are constantly reminded of what a loving mess android is but continue to buy devices with Android™ technology

what I'm saying is they're asking for it

i like how when ios brought all the dumbass features anroid had and was mocked for it relentlessly yosposters did a 360 turn and liked it

you will find that the reason for this is that iOS has a better implementation of the ideas that android used first

except for the buggy keyboard extensions I guess but otoh my custom keyboard experience has been "use swype for 2 minutes, say meh and go back to standard"

the widgets implementation is miles better in iOS
if you want widgets in android, you have to put them on the home screen and unlock to view them. Or you have to know about this one security setting that enables lock screen widgets. Then you add them one at a time, each widget fills the whole screen and you swipe through them one at a time.
in iOS, it's only in notification center, not polluting your home screen. you just pull it down and there they are. each one takes up the amount of space that it needs at that moment instead of taking up the whole loving screen

if androids notification area was as horrible as notification center theyd put things that arent notifications in there too

notification center is most importantly the today view which is stuff like
1. snippet description of today's weather
2. what time your next calendar appointment is
3. any reminders whose alarms have gone off
4. widgets that display little bits of information relevant to the current time or place

rest assured that this owns

you could rename it if it makes you happier it would still be the right way to do it

new notifications are on the lock screen, pull down and you see the today view, touch the Notifications tab and you see old notifications.

it's not magic that apple comes into possession of the best suppliers. they aren't a rush to tick a box ASAP as much as they are trying to achieve a good implementation, however long it takes.

the mechanics of "going back" in an app are very simple and work the same way for 99% of iOS apps. if you can't figure it out I don't know how you figured out posting.
