   I have been a long time Android fan because of the tinkering you could do more easily than Apple. Then I started appreciating some of the design decisions behind especially iPhone, and it's been almost 7 years of iPhone usage.

   Recently I am starting to question some of the design decisions. Most native apps are bloated with functionalities, most of the time useless. Ads pop up everywhere, even before persistence; iCloud and backups are clearly designed to make you pay, the free space is useless.

   I am not that sure my next phone will be an iPhone.

   I have tried a recent Mac, and the system isn't intuitive at all. The first time I used GNOME, it was a breeze. Not the same with the MacBook system.

      The whole iOS and Android keep copying each other and without someone like Steve being the editor they became pretty similar.

      I want an iOS that is SIMPLE. And the software Apple is offering right now is anything but simple. Homescreen is now clustered mess. And for every banks, resturatnts all want an App for themselves, either you skip all the discounts and functions or now you have more clutter to deal with.
