   Hi Tyrone,   
      
   Happy New Year!   
      
   The problem is all you're doing is parroting baseless Apple propaganda.   
   You don't actually understand iOS, nor Android - you're just a parrot.   
      
   I use Android & iOS all day, every day, so I understand them both.   
   You understand neither.   
      
   Whether iOS or Android is easier depends greatly on what tasks you're   
   doing. For example, try moving a downloaded PDF from your email into a   
   specific folder and opening it in a non-Apple app. On Android it's one   
   step. On iOS it's a scavenger hunt.   
      
   Likewise after downloading a ZIP file on iOS, opening it, and moving one of   
   the files into a specific app's folder, where, on Android it's a two-tap   
   action, yet on iOS it turns into a maze of share sheets and hidden menus.   
      
   What's easier on iOS or Android depends greatly on what you're doing.   
      
   Plug an iPhone and an Android into Windows and tell me which is easier for   
   bidirectional file transfers, or try to load an app from anywhere outside   
   of the app store, or even from the app store WITHOUT an account.   
      
   Hell, try to re-install any IPA/APK of any version on Android versus iOS?   
   What's impossible to do with iOS is trivial to do on Android in many cases.   
      
   Anyone who parrots Apple propaganda doesn't understand anything about iOS.   
      
   Try to customize your home screen, or change the default app for dialing,   
   messaging, app launcher, file manager, assistant, camera, etc.   
      
   Android lets you set a default dialer, SMS app, launcher, assistant, camera   
   and file manager, while iOS locks every one of those defaults to Apple.   
      
   Worse, you can't even DO on iOS half the things that you can do on Android.   
      
   There's a reason I assess anyone who parrots Apple's meaningless (but   
   brilliant) propaganda, doesn't know anything about iOS nor about Android.
