I switched from android to iOS 7 years ago and I’ve actually been debating going back just because of how bad iOS is at AI. And every other facet of my life, I am finding ways for it to save my time on an almost daily basis. And yet on iOS, just finding something from a text Message is still a nightmare.
Siri seems to rarely get better and sometimes actually get worse.
Same problems on Android. Google Assistant was better in 2016 than it is in 2026, and the Gemini assistant is a joke. They can’t even integrate with their own music app (YouTube Music) properly.
I switched to iOS this year and I’ve been learning that the grass is not much greener. I do miss uBlock Origin. Maybe my next stop is GrapheneOS or a similar degoogled ROM…

Siri got nerfed a few years ago. “Here’s what I found on the web” is now the default answer. It used to pull answers from the search results
It’s the keyboard for me. I don’t remember making as many typing mistakes when I was on an Android phone. It’s also infuriating trying to “select all” for copy or move the cursor to beginning with the spacebar motion.
I swear it’s like I’m using a phone in a dream sometimes.

Can you give a couple of examples?

This has been a problem on iOS since the dawn of time and has nothing to do with AI

no, you don't understand - iOS has no AI because Apple cares about your privacy!!
