I just made the move from Android 10 to iOS 13. I was shocked how complicated the process was. Not saying that one is more intuitive than the other.
But man...
No back button. The password manager didn’t integrate well. The keyboard didn’t adapt to the language I was typing in. Parameters were hidden in the settings app but sometimes also in the app itself. Force touch is impossible to predict without trying it (actionable notifications). The cloud is incompatible (I lost my WhatsApp history). The lock screen and the notification panel look the same but don’t show the same information (some notifications only show up in the nOtification panel). What the hell... the notification panel looks like the lock screen... Some control are stuck on an inaccessible and not obvious corner (abort the reorganization mode of main app starting panel).
I felt a bit stupid and understood the frustration of my 70 year old mother trying to learn how to use an iPhone. How am I supposed to explain it to her if it doesn’t make sense to me?
Nothing in the tech is really intuitive unless you truly know the product.
I felt hopeless and a bit depressed for y couple of days.
Thank god the hardware is gorgeous and the product feels great! :)
Swipe from the left edge of the screen, or tap the chevron in the top left.

The lock screen hides historical notifications. You can scroll down to see them.
