Why is IOS so simple?

I bought an iPhone se2020 for myself and an iPhone 12 for my

wife and I must say that we are both very disappointed. How is it possible that

phones at such a price lack basic functions ??


(I note that we immediately updated both phones to the

latest version of IOS).


- Absence of ringing profiles, just set to turn off the

sound or switch to vibration according to the time schedule just can’t be set.

Why?? IOS 'focus' modes are completely useless and good for nothing. Did apple guys ever asked users what they want?


- Very poor keyboard without the possibility of

personalization, alternatives are limited and incomparably worse than the

alternatives on Android. In other language than EN it's the keyboard nightmare.


- I WANT TO DETERMINE WHEN I TURN WIFI / BT / GPS ON AND

OFF, it's unrealistic for the iPhone, it does what it wants and it can't be

changed. It is so difficult to understand that the user wants to be a master of his own phone??


- Sound can't be controlled separately?!? Is it such a problem

to make three sound drivers for notifications, media and alarms ??? You can't

imagine how this annoying me and I'm not alone.


- Doesn't the phone have infrared at this price? With phones

for a quarter of the price of the iPhone, you can control televisions, radios,

air conditioners, fans, etc., without the need to buy additional overpriced

junk just for compatibility.


- Absence of JACK. Pushing the jack into the socket is

simply easier and faster than pairing headphones with bluetooth. That’s a fact. Users ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THAT, they just got used to it.


- A small selection of apps in the Appstore, a few apps I've

used until recently, aren't even there at all, or are of poor quality.


- In the task list you can terminate applications only one

by one, not all at once, this is just a weird joke, right ???


- Few widgets and alternatives. There is no small associated

widget for iPhone, time and date, week numbers, temperature and even phone

information. When I set all the widgets for the mentioned information on the

home desktop, the desktop is full and not everything can fit in there! It seeems apple make knife for 'simple' users without higher demands.


- Access settings via desktop shortcut. Whoever invented

this would deserve a punch to his face. Is it such a problem to add a settings

icon to the control center ??? Just add this option there, how difficult it can be?


- Sort icons on the desktop behind each other. WHY?????? Why

can't I put shortcut icon to the lower right corner or wherever I want?? It seem Apple is control freak and enjoys limiting of users.


- The phone does not display the caller's number for

contacts in the address book. That must be a joke, otherwise it would be very

embarrassing that a phone for so much money can't do what basic phones do for a

penny. This is a truly basic function and I NEED IT!



There are many shortcomings of the iPhone that Android does

not have, this is a list of those that annoyed me the most and caused general

dissatisfaction.



Of course, the iPhone also has some pros, but for the amount

that the iPhone costs, one expects a perfect product and not a limited

operating system full of shortcomings and compromises with with minimal chances of personalization.



We will return or sell both phones and again we are satisfied with the

'two years' Android phones.
