This is for watchOS, but when you add a watchface, look closely at the activity digital face... There is an activity complication in the corner. It makes me SO mad, I chatted with Apple and they just ended it. I really hate it.

No option for focus follows mouse. And no way to implement it due to the way the menu bar works.
- No back button or consistent back action, can't swipe back from either side of the screen like you can with Android.
- When there is a back button, it's in the #1 most inaccessible part of the screen
- Can only use Safari (other brosers are just themed Safari)
- Because you can't have other browsers, you can't have browser plugins.
- You can use a custom keyboard... But only sometimes. It won't let you do it for passwords. This is very frustrating as their stock keyboard sucks ass and you don't have that muscle memory, they should just do it all the time.
- iMessage
- Inability to side load apps or install from places outside the app store that extorts developers
These are a few things that if resolved, would make me decide to use iOS over Android.
Swiping from the left side of the screen is almost always back
Not saying this is a fix, but for people with small hands such as myself, swiping down on the switcher bar at the bottom of the screen pulls the whole upper half of the screen down to keyboard level. It’s called “reachability” and was introduced back when Apple started selling massive phones. It’s an extra step, so not ideal in frequent usage, but if you can’t afford to fumble around with your phone to tap a button on the top, it helps.
I dislike having icons on home screen, I use drawers and the only place that has icon is the dock.
Clipboard management on iOS. At least I can get Maccy on macOS, but on iOS I’m just stuck to suffer through copy/paste hell.
Intercom messaging from an HomeKit automation trigger.
When I save things and then go try to find them in Files and they aren't there, only to find out later they ended up in some hidden part of the file system that Files doesn't see.
