      I’ll definitely be going back to iPhone. I miss the continuity between my phone, Mac and iPad.

      I miss iMessage bad.

          You can see what stone-age OS is when "setting default" app is a feature

            Yeah, you can choose defaults ... but you'll never get those apps onto their store.

                  But, is not that it is important news. Whenever I have/had an Android phone I use Chrome. With an iphone I use Safari. I didn't even think that I need to change this browsers on that particular devices.
                  For example, at my work I use Edge, because it is recommended by company.

                  I think people are putting too much importance on this little things. The same with widgets. I am pretty sure I will never use widgets in iphone. As for Android, in 10 years (plus minus) in which I had Android phones, my only widgets I used were clock and weather widgets.

                      I have never had an iPhone, so I find it quite shocking that this feature is only available now.

                      Imagine if Microsoft only allowed you Internet Explorer…
