> objectively terrible

I think notifications are far better on iOS, love using Siri for controlling things/the phone (search is mediocre at best), I like the system sounds and alarms, hate when I have to use my Pixel dev phone's keyboard, etc, etc. It's rather subjective.

The two timers thing though, holy crap that annoys me. I swear they said they fixed that...

Except you have to swipe-then-tap to dismiss them. It's so fucking annoying. That's the biggest thing I miss about Android, just a simple swipe dismisses them.


Here is some tip if that can help : if you continue to swipe after the button are shown, you'll feel a vibration and releasing your finger will activate the default option (which is "Close"). In fact, you just have to do larger swipes.

But yeah, I also uses iOS because I don't want anything Google. In terms of UX, i don't like iOS but I also loathe Android. I currently lack courage, but I think that in some point in my life, I'll just throw smartphones. I'm sad that Firefox OS became this closed KaiOS thing. A hackable dumbphone is just what I need.


There still is Ubuntu Touch with slowly growing device pool support. Dunno how polished or performant it is right now, though.
