Comment on Apple is officially dropping iPhone support for web apps in the EU - The Verge

Would never sacrifice the flexibility and customizability of an Android device for the clunky and unintuitive UI of an iPhone.
So why fuck Apple? You’re using an Android device, Apple has updated their software in a way that doesn’t compel you to want to try an Apple device, end of story why all the vitriol?
I could see, maybe, if you were already an Apple user and wanted them to make a change that you want on your device. But having so much hate for a device you have no intention of using anyway?
This change impacts every mobile user, not just iPhone users. iPhones are a good portion of the userbase of most apps/websites. For PWAs to gain mass adoption, it needs to be available for the majority of users. This change means that will not be the case in the EU.
I don’t think that’s why this guy is mad

You can say many things about apple but clunky and unintuitive would not be it.

You only find Apple’s UI intuitive because you’re used to it.

Same. I have no idea how to use an iphone. Even basic things are frustrating.

Just wanted to chime in that I’m not an apple user, I primarily use android and windows. iPad is the only iOS device I use. I flat out disagree with clunky, Apple’s UI design (on iOS at least) is beautiful. UX wise, I can’t comment on functional differences between Android and iOS, at this stage in time, both are comparably usable for most people.

Some apple choices definitely feel clunky.
Plugging an iPhone into a computer to move files around is a nightmare. The way notifications work on iOS is extremely clunky. Pairing non-apple devices to your apple device is purposely made clunky. Removing PWA support leads to clunkiness.
Using MacOS and having to memorise some wild keyboard shortcuts is clunky. Not being able to minimise a program by clicking the icon in the dock feels clunky. MacOS flipping out when you want to tile one window but not another feels clunky. Apple’s workspace view and ap menu view not being integrated together (a la Gnome Activities view) feels clunky.
Apple is extremely visually consistent. But they absolutely have UX clunkiness, just as the others do. It’s fine though, most people don’t care. I’m pretty anal about these things.

I’ve tried an Iphone XR for 1 month. It’s intuitive, but Android is too.

I compel you to try to snap to tile a single windows to a side of the desktop in a macOS fresh install.

You can’t because, to do that thing that every single desktop environment can do out of the box, you need to install a third party app on macOS. This and many other QoL features that are bog standard on Windows and Linux today are not present on macOS.
Now, I want you to tell me out of the top of your head, what does pressing the green button achieves on the window for Safari? Do you think it will do the same on the settings window? What will it do for the App Store? Do you think it will do the same thing on all three or three different things? Which one do you expect?
Final challenge, make the window for the calculator stay on top of all other windows.
