I did try again using an iPhone about 3 years ago, because it had really caught up to Android with 3rd party keyboards, some widgets, etc. And of course, the Apple Watch is second to none when it comes to health stats.
But as I said in my blog a year ago, I was so frustrated with spam callers, and Truecaller not being allowed to do number lookups, that I finally ditched the Apple ecosystem for a second time (and final) time. I have just sold off my AirTags as well.
Seriously, if this functionality was release a bit over a year ago, I may well have stayed in the Apple ecosystem. Well, I can’t say for sure, as my philosophy around accessibility and open standards is a bit divergent from Apple’s.
But it does go to show that clearly this was a major frustration for many, and it just takes Apple very very very long before (ah, RCS messaging I’m now thinking of) before they make a change.
This does though make me feel very happy for Apple users.
That said, Android does also appear to be restricting some things now. The two ecosystems are getting more and more alike.
