Comment on Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker?

You had me until this bit. I support my mom and the iPhone she got instead of an android. I have no idea how to use this thing, and she’s the mother of 2.5 nerds. This swishy swoopy UI is so bad it’s toxic.
But I think that’s just a young and sparkle-addicted product management team who forgets that they need to sell to their market and who believe they know better.

I’ve had the same issue every time I’ve tried helping someone with an Android phone. I kind of figured it’s because it’s not what I’m used to so it seems foreign.
I had an Android work phone for a while and I got more comfortable with it because I was using the UI regularly.
My parents switched from Android to Apple and they’ve both said they find the iPhone easier to navigate; they’re both ~70 years old.
Personally, I think that Android and Apple appeal to different personalities with different needs and that people are naturally resistant to change.

Agreed, have used both android and iOS over the years and both OSes has their pros and cons. Currently staying with iPhone because nothing beats their face ID in my opinion.

I stick with Apple because it “just works” for me and they haven’t done anything to piss me off enough to change.
