because it's bothering me today

Clock

• Can't name alarms
• Can't dismiss alarms before they go off (like in Android)

Gallery

• All images (photos, downloads, and screenshots) are mixed together in the same "photostream" (unlike Android, which uses folders. What a concept!)
• Syncing services like Dropbox will sync everything in the photostream. So now my photo backups are full of memes and screenshots. Thanks a ton, Apple.

Firefox

• Can't install add-ons, because Apple is paranoid
• Private Browsing doesn't have the persistent notification to clear all tabs like Android does
• Trying to figure out what a URL links to by long-pressing also loads the URL!!! It's handy I guess, but come on! I want to see before I leap!
• All other apps use Safari as their embedded browser, which has different sessions and passwords than Firefox

Lock Screen

• I hate Face ID. I will never use it. The fact that a cop can just wave my phone in front of my face and get access to all my personal data is unnerving!!! Also having to take a selfie every time I use my phone sounds like a pain in the ass.
• No modern iPhone has a fingerprint scanner. I like those! They still have the cop problem I guess but it's less bad.
• PINs still exist... and they're capped in length. Blah.

Apple Maps

• Transit directions don't show when I'll arrive at a destination when selecting routes, unlike Google Maps. This is kind of an essential feature???
• I can't just use Google Maps, because Apple Maps is the only map app allowed to show directions on the lock screen. Google Maps has to awkwardly use notifications and it sucks.

iMessage

• Doesn't support RCS
• Doesn't let me respond to messages on my computer unless I own a Mac (which for many, many reasons I'm not doing)

Microsoft Phone Link / KDE Connect

• Nothing works! Because Apple won't give these apps the permissions required to actually do anything! Some evil plot to sell more Macs, I guess.

Reasons I still use iOS despite everything

There is literally no Android phone on the market even approaching the size of the iPhone Mini. The Zenfone 9? That's about base model iPhone size, except a few mm narrower. Ooh. The Sony Xperia series? Actual lightsabers, with a price tag to match.

I want USB-C and headphone jacks and the ability to wake up in the morning and tell my alarm that I'm good, actually. And I want that without having to destroy my hands in the process, or being forced to wield a small tablet.

Phones. They suck.
