I was recently trying to set some stuff up on my kids iPad. It infuriated me to no end trying to use it, until I started to act like a boomer using a new device, then it a started to work itself out. You can't just quickly go through things to get it done, you have to slow down and watch all pretty animations and move your fingers like you have arthritis and your brain works at that same speed.
Things get better when you're in settings, but God damn it's still like a Fisher Price toy for adults.
I found it very easy to use and I’m a first gen android adopter, did custom roms on all my phones, the works.
I tried my partner’s new iPhone 4 and fell in love. I’m used to gestures for everything since switching to Opera in the early 00s when they implemented mouse gestures, so memorizing gestures for everything was easy.
I don’t feel it’s over-animated at all. It feels very natural for me to navigate and I love it. I don’t have to fuck around with bootloaders or custom roms and they last like five years. Our iPad Pro is like seven years old and beats the shit out of a shitty laggy Wacom tablet for art.
I wish the file explorer was better, that would be a boon for me and navigating my servers, but most of the stuff I do on the iPad or iPhone is simple enough, and airdrop is even easier than saving something to my servers to transfer to another machine (I don’t use cloud services.)
