I went from a 4S to a 13 (with a bunch of Androids in between). The difference between the two is night and day of course. Back when I had the 4S I felt iOS just wasn't ready yet, it's long since caught up to Android and surpassed it.

I started with the iPhone 4. And yes at that point the OS was quite basic compared to now. Coming from a Nokia so of course a lot was better but a fair bit worse too.

Lol surpassed? I use both. And I see Android do much smarter things and do simple QoL stuff in a much better way. Try answering to msgs from ur notifications, try customising app notifications in the way android does it, try not waking up the lockscreen for every notification, (yeah u would say disable it, but if u do, u won't even hear it. android let's u hear it at least) try tapping in the middle of a word to edit somewhere in the middle without having to drag ur finger through the letters, try dialling a name's letters on the dialler to see if that contact pops up, try sharing files seamlessly between various apps on the same device, and just for good measure try typing 2 in the exponent form..

On iPhone you can reply from the notifications screen by doing a long tap. As for trying to edit the middle of a word, long tap on the space bar and you can precisely move the cursor to any part of the sentence.

How long has this been a thing? This is game changing to me.

Holy moly it works so well.

I was a convert, too. Early on I thought that the Google flagship phones were a lot nicer than the contemporaneous iPhones, but now I think that the opposite is true.
