Perhaps if you know how. Watching my dad use his iPhone.. Every time have to teach him something new, and hope he remembers it.

So stupid interface. No discoverability.

Whenever I use my wife's iphone I feel like an idiot. I've been working in tech for 20 years

I recently learned you can swipe on the address bar in Android-Chrome to navigate to the next/previous tab. Also, press+hold on the tab count button to show the tab's options e.g. close tab. Now my address bar is on the bottom of the screen.

Terrible discoverability. I guess the genalpha kids know gestures like this, but stuff like this makes me feel like a boomer.
