I know this topic has been discussed many times in the past. I really wanted to give an iPhone a try coming from an Android, but the navigation on the phone seems to be a huge downgrade.
The back button is in most applications out of reach with one hand. And swiping on the right edge is not user friendly for a right hander.
On android you can do that from both sides and it makes the overall experience much smoother!
Will apple ever catch up with android?
That’s so true, I have switched from Android to iPhone for 2 months, and gesture is the thing I miss the most. But I don’t think they’re going to change it anytime soon, though, because the overall experience on the iPhone is still way better.
