there's not a single phone in existance that released in last 5-10 years that would have even 10% of its space taken up by default apps. what are you smoking retarded itoddler. most of those apps can be uninstalled, including samsung internet, and the ones that cant are stuff that 99% of users needs to have a functional phone that can call, message, save contacts, look at weather, open up mail, open up a web browser, open up a store, open up settings, use a camera, use a gps/maps, use youtube etc.

Sure the apps themselves don't take that much.

The system partition is still fucking huge on modern Android, though. Usual figures are 17GB for 32GB device, 24GB for 64GB devices. Windows 10 takes less than that, it's beyond absurd the bloat that is modern software.

It's because of the way android sandboxing and apps works, it's bound to be more "bloated" in terms of size compared to windows programs. I exclusively buy mid grade phones because I don't do any gaymin or professional fotography on my phone so I don't need more consoomerist shit, and pretty much every Samsung/Xiaomi/Google mid-budget phone comes with over 100GB of space and doesn't take up more than 20ish gigs or so.

Well, a lot of the stuff I was previously unable to disable/remove manually using ADB I was able to disable/remove using that tool, don't know what magic sauce it uses to do so (reading the source I can't find anything special about it, maybe I'm not looking at the right files, Rust isn't my coup of tea) but there is still one that can't be removed no matter what the "Game Optimizing Service". Apparently the UI itself re-installs/re-enables it every time it can't find it (or on package uninstall/disable). Requires root, and I really don't want to root this phone, at least one app will not run in a rooted phone and its an "essential" one for the humanoid using the device.
Thanks again.

There're only two smartphone brands: Pixel or iPhone. Everything else is literal garbage.

Termux on f-droid

apt-install android tools

Go to your phone settings, enable developer mode, go there, enable WiFi debugging (sadly you have to be connected to a WiFi)

>4k on a phone
It's not even necessary for most users to have this on a laptop or desktop monitor, and many Android devices do not have 4k screens.
>No reverse wireless charging
Not every Android device has this, 99.9% of users don't even know it exists, and reverse wired charging (which is more efficient) still works.
>No dual Bluetooth
Not entirely true, but it only works with Apple hardware like HomePods.
>No split-screening your apps
Can be done with third-party software or tweaks after jailbreaking.
>No foldable displays
Because they're for retarded coomers and most users do not want them.
>No second screen
Can be done with third party software.
>No fast charging
This is a lie.
>No built-in Stylus
Doesn't exist on the vast majority of Android devices either.
>Can't keep more than one account saved on apps
This is a lie. It depends on the application and what it's interfacing with, just like on Android.
>Cant torrent
This is not a native Android feature either. It can be done with third party software, just like on Android.
>Can't do Picture in picture with every app
Not every app supports it on Android either.
>Updates constantly slowing phone down
Every new Android release is more resource-hungry.

This is a relatively new feature on Android, but most iOS devices truly do not need it.
>Can't turn phone into desktop
Convergence is not a native feature on 99.9% of Android phones either.
>Can't record phone calls
Lie. Of course you can. There are native solutions and more configurable third party solutions.
>No t9 dialing
There is third party software for this.
>Can't adjust height of keyboard
This isn't entirely true (see: https://www.popsci.com/diy/how-to-make-keyboard-bigger-on-iphone/ ) though Android does it a whole lot better.
>No clipboard
Of course it has a clipboard. What you are referring to is a clipboard buffer (storing multiple clipboard entries for later access). This feature is keyboard-specific. Gboard and AnySoft have a clipboard buffer, but standard AOSP and others do not.
>Can't picture in picture their video calls
Lie. See: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/multitask-with-picture-in-picture-iphcc3587b5d/ios
>Can't take long screenshots outside of safari
There is a variety of third party software for this, much of which is free.

This isn't a native feature of Android. There are third party apps for both Android and iOS that support it.

>Cant customize ringtone with song that they own

lol. imagine having to hook up your phone to a computer to use a custom ringtone from storage.
>$120 wireless headphones DO NOT COME WITH PHONE
>How many Android phones come with $120 headphones?
They don't. Their point is to bring back the wired earbuds. (ex. lighting wired/usb c wired on new iPhones) To be fair Android manufacturers have been doing this now too and it sucks.
>It doesn’t tell you how long your phone has left to fully charge when you plug it in
>Another lie.
Provide proof. I have never seen this functionality outside of software workaround with shortcuts. (This should be shown on the lockscreen like on Android.)

Blatantly false. Stock AOSP roms support this functionality out of the box. Usually signified via a clear all button.

Agreed. Each new release of Android is more resource hungry than the last. These are not mutually exclusive facts.

Only way to use this feature is to buy a 300 dollar Apple Watch. Spend more money to get a feature that should be free! https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211685 https://support.apple.com/en-us/100505 "The Bedtime feature is available only on iOS 13 or earlier. If you're using iOS 14 or later, learn how to track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone."
Either way this is based on sleep and not just an option for your alarms (which it should be).
>Can't have gifs or videos as backgrounds

Should at least be given the choice to do this. Not hard to implement. Plenty of people use wallpaper engine on PC.
>Can’t pause or stop a video while recording
>No option to flip the camera around while recording
>Lies. It depends on the recording software, just like on Android.
This is natively supported by MOST (not all) stock camera apps on Androids. You shouldn't have to download a separate app to have this functionality.
>Can't put space between apps
>What are you even talking about?
They are referring to the ability to put your apps wherever you want on your home screen launcher. iOS only lets you use a preset grid and you can't have any sort of gaps in between app icons/folders or else it fusses.

Your assessment is reasonable. I do not own an iPhone, but I putz around with my wife's sometimes, and it's a lot more comfortable in terms of UX than Android is. That being said, I came over to Android from BlackBerry10 devices, and neither Android or iOS come close to that level of responsiveness and thoughtful design. I really miss using the homescreen as a task switcher for minimized application windows, and having a hub where all calls, texts, emails, and social media messages are arranged and searchable.
