    Every new Android version adds features that have been on iOS forever. Both OSes have different priorities.

    Android will often add new features but they are poorly integrated or thought out. iOS tends to add features with a much higher level of refinement the first time around.

      Yeah, the tinted icons are very refined as can be seen in this post: https://androiddev.social/@MishaalRahman/112594519877882594

        It's in beta 1. Some apps look kinda bad if you're trying to pick a horrid color. Hopefully they do something to improve contrast before release.

      Yeah let me know when Apple figure out notifications. They're light years away from what you can do on Android to customize them.

      Or UI navigation. Apple's insistence on not having an OS "back" feature has led to each app implementing their own. Sometimes it's a button, good luck finding it and figuring out how it looks, sometimes it's a gesture or something else.

        Ok, use Android then. Millions of people don’t care about those things because they have different priorities for their phone which Apple accounts for when they decide which features to roll out.

          Do they? Bad UI and bad notifications is something that everybody constantly complains about with Apple. But do they act on it or do they rest secure knowing they've got a captive audience and can simply be tone-deaf and forge on?

          I can come up with lots of other bad UI examples btw those aren't singular. The security code input pad is atrocious. The 3D touch fiasco etc.
