Yeah, it is not the same thing on iOS. This feature is implemented extremely differently on android and Samsung's OneUI. Can only be initiated from the left side. Furthermore, it is not relievable, and every app utilizes this feature differently. Meanwhile many apps and menu options aren't optimized for this feature at all, and you have to use the standard back arrow.

Whereas the universal back swipe on android just works the same way across all apps/services and is reliable.

Again, this is coming from someone who uses both flagship devices on the daily.

I use both a S21Ultra (work phone) and Iphone 14 Pro (personal phone) on the daily. So don't necessarily miss the features but I do wish iPhone had them.

  1. USB F*CKING C, charging on iPhone just sucks. Yes iPhones have good battery life, but they also take double the time to charge fully so it's definitely a tradeoff. Takes 90 minutes to charge iPhone fully.
  2. Split Screen
  3. Better file/photos management, like why tf does a photo still remain in the "recents" after I add it in an Album. There should be an option to "move to album" or copy to album. The photos app just looks clunky and gives me a headache because of how poor the file management is on iOS.
  4. Multimedia volume controls. Like let me keep the ringer volume up while keeping notifications and media on mute. Seems like a basic software thing.
  5. Universal back swipe, users who have never used an android don't often understand the importance of this. Navigation is so much simpler and reliable on android because of this.
  6. Samsung Knox secure folder.
  7. Siri sucks to the point where it's not even worth using, I feel like it's actually getting worse over time. Google Assistant is easily a decade ahead. Voice controls are better on android all together.

EDIT I chose to buy an iPhone because I like to keep my working and personal mobile workflows separate. I have now used an iPhone as my personal phone since 2015 and have owned 3 iterations in this time. I primarily opted for the iphone such that I could remain in both Android and IOS and avoid carrying two of the same phones while utilizing the strengths of each system. I certainly enjoy many aspects of the iPhone. Though if I were to lose my work phone or be required to only carry a single device, I would probably choose the latest Android flagship. I think Android has matured quite a bit and most anti-android sentiments are driven from social reasons as opposed to actual product technical assessments. People somehow judge android's flaws more harshly while often turning a blind eye to Apple's crap. iPhone is a solid product, but it is most certainly over-hyped and is not good value for money IMO.
