Mar 5, 2013 Headline: "Why I switched from iPhone to Android"" [""I find that typing on an Android device is faster and much less annoying than typing on my iPhone. It's not even close. This example also points out some of the philosophical differences that often allow Android to create a better experience for the user. Why is the iOS keyboard so stripped-down? Why can't the user customize the experience? Because Apple's gun-shy about adding features at the cost of simplicity and clarity. They're not wrong; it's a perfectly valid philosophy, and usually an effective one. But sometimes, an Apple product's feature lands at the wrong side of the line that divides 'simple' from 'stripped down.' The iPhone keyboard is stripped-down.""] Macworld
