I agree with everything you said. The fact that there’s no dedicated back and menu buttons drives me crazy. Even apps that do have back buttons implement them differently. Inconsistent app control is my biggest complaint with Apple devices. This is something Android does much better.
And yes the hotspot is awful but it has gotten better. It was an F. Now it’s a D, maybe C-. iOS keyboard is also lame. Why do I have to go to an alt view to get to basic punctuation? Then you have to go to yet another layer to get to a # sign. It’s idiotic.
Also the lighting interface is lame too. I have to carry a separate cable for this stupid thing while everything else I own shares a USB C cable, including my iPad ffs.

For the back button you can just swipe left on the page itself

Not every app allows this.

He was specifically referring to browsers. Safari, Chrime and Firefox support this on iOS.
Even besides browsers most apps support it, where it makes sense anyway.

Who was referring to that? I thought this is about the general iOS experience lacking the back button. It truly is a mess.

You, by saying "you just have to wait" which is weong as you can just swipe left in all browsers and most (if not all common) apps

I'm sorry, where did I say "you just have to wait?"

This doesn't work if there is horizontal scrolling on the page. Also not all apps support it like Amazon for example. It is really inconsistent.

IPAD IS USB C😳😳😳 oh for god sakes…yes agreed the keyboard is so dumb like there literally is not a full stop on the front page.

On Apple’s keyboard, you can type symbols, etc. very quickly because the modifier keys work just like a real keyboard. For example, when on the letters keyboard, hold the 123 key with your left thumb, then tap any character with your right thumb. You can even swipe from the 123 key to any character. These gestures also work with other modifier keys, including shift and ABC.
Plus, you can double-tap shift to enable caps lock, hold space to enable trackpad mode, double-tap space for a period, and hold many characters for secondary characters.
