  • Yeah I have almost no apps on my Home Screen. Just one page of widgets, and 3 pinned to the bottom.

    Otherwise if I want an app I just use spotlight. Quick swipe down and the first letter or 2 of any app and I’m in. I almost never touch the App Library.

    This prob comes from using spotlight so much on Mac as well though.

    I haven’t had one myself for a while, really anymore I just see it when watching vids on the flip phones or tablets it seems.

    But android gave me the reason to switch (the messy apps) years ago, and apple hasn’t given me a reason to switch back yet.

    It very well might be fine now, but until apple does something similar enough to push me to switch again, I won’t know haha.

    It really just depends on if you prefer customization or reliability.

    For example, I’m an apple boi because I like that every app in the store is made specifically for an iPhone (which is easy for devs to do since there’s little variation). It leads to better maintained and performing apps because devs can optimize for the device it’s running on.

    On android, you have way more choices, which some people prefer. But for myself, I get really annoyed when I launch an app and it fills 95% of my screen, but not all of it, because my phone is slightly taller then the 2000 other variations out there. It’s much harder for a dev to optimize their app when there are so many variables to account for on android.

    Neither phone (or company for that fact) is better. They serve different demographics of users is all.
