Creating a new Apple ID and downloading the first few apps is still a pain the ass. I think the worst part is getting to the point you can finally download apps without being forced to type your password every single time.

I miss New Pipe. But this will probably make me watch YouTube videos on my laptop instead of resorting to my phone every single time. Maybe I need a break from YouTube altogether.

It's weird how many of the apps I use (especially banking apps) seem to perform better on iOS? And are more consistent, too? I definitely get some "We prioritize iOS over Android" vibes from some companies.

@anna i read an article years ago about how apple put a ton of effort into prioritizing (in the task priority sense) user interaction over everything else, so e.g. if the user is touching a scrollable area, the process responsible for scrolling will get way more CPU time than anything else, so there's never a perceptible lag. It's possible that android has caught up on that, but if not, that kind of thing can make a huge difference in making all apps feel more responsive.

@ranjit @anna it entirely depends on your android device. So on a Google-sanctioned Pixel phone, input lag is pretty much identical to iOS. cheaper devices, not so much.

@darius @ranjit Never used a Pixel, they don't sell them here! But top of the line Samsung phones up to the S10 line still felt really laggy. Not sure about the S20/S21 line.
