It’s crap, sorry. It’s an inconsistent mess. Having come from iOS it’s as clear as night and day.

It doesn’t really matter to me if there’s some other specific version of Android that fixes some issues if I install it. As a user that’s not something I care about.

It's odd because, as someone who daily drives a Pixel with GrapheneOS and also owns an iPhone, my experience is the opposite. You could not pay be to go back to a device controlled by a corporation, and on which I am not allowed to run programs without Apple's blessing. The UI is largely a matter of taste, by now all mobile operating systems have converged to a broadly identical design and similar gestures etc.

As a user too, android works far better for me and I was an Apple user for a few years.

Not having the ugly frosted glass thing is a very big plus.

I use both, iOS for past 10 years and now Android again.

Both are inconsistent mess.
