It’s about time someone pointed this out. Look at all the things phones got rid of in their UI:
(It also gives up a lot of context-based right-clicking, but I personally consider the right-click a bad UI design choice.)
Some things, like folders, are only barely implemented, with a host of features that we’ve had for decades removed. Ever tried to sort a phone group by creation date?
I’m writing this on an iPad, which I would love to use as my daily driver, but because it runs iPad OS, there are so many productivity and organizational features missing relative to Mac OS that I do most important things on the laptop.
I can do every single one of those things in my pixel (or just about any Android phone) if these things actually mattered you would have switched ages ago.
You paid for an Apple product. This is the ecosystem you choose to locked yourself into.
“Locked” is a pretty strong word. I’m running a home lab with Home Assistant, and I’m running Macs, PCs, Android devices, and lots of Linux virtual machines. The reason I use an Apple product instead of an Android product is that Apple products are a lot more polished.
