I second this.Gmail is something that I use regularly on iOS and the interface is so ancient compared to gmail on Android. This is true for a lot of applications except maybe google photos.
Outlook (for iOS) does a better job of managing Gmail in iOS than the official app.

Eh? I still use a first generation Nexus 5. SNES/N64/PSP emulators run like a dream. Apps open/transition instantly. What performance metric are you even using?
You must have a lot of nightmares then. My old iphone 4 lasted happily for 4 years and after I gave it to my sister in law. I couldn't force myself to use the awful nexus 5 for even two years. And I really went close to throw that piece of crap against the wall. Apparently the "new" nexus 5x is even slower than that for some reason that is beyond human comprehension. You really have very low performance standard, lik…

...maybe take your own advice?

> WebOS was far ahead of its time I see this any time WebOS is mentioned but this makes WebOS sound a lot more innovative than it was. WebOS is widely lauded for two things: (1) the card application interface and (2) the accompanying physics/gestures, especially swipe from edge. Now these are great and appropriately lauded but that is a short list that really pales compared to a similar list of things the iPhone OS h…

On the contrary - I just did this. I'm a current AT&T customer and ordered a bare phone for my eventual transition to Verizon. I'm in the US - maybe this is not available in your region.
If you ordered an at&t iphone 7 that way, it won't work because the intel modem chip in the att/tmobile versions doesn't support cdma bands: http://www.recode.net/2016/9/9/12863302/apple-iphone-7-intel...

Honestly, in terms of staff UI design cred Android is in better place than iOS right now. With the Sidekick, PalmOS, and then Material Design, Matías Duarte has been consistently at the forefront of mobile UI design. Jony Ive is probably the most brilliant consumer electronics hardware designer in the world, but I have yet to see any indication that he has any idea how to lead a platform UI design project. I had issu…
Matías Duarte has been consistently at the forefront of mobile UI design. This is a pretty subjective statement. It seems that a lot of Duarte's designs are somewhat derivative. Material extends MS's Flat design. I'm also not sure how much of that is Duarte, its a pretty open secret that Google makes use of some pretty high end digital agencies who aren't allowed to let folks know what they're working on. WebOS was p…
All UX/UI design on major platforms is "derivative". None is ground breaking.
I find it funny how you back up your claim by showing an equally derivative work (LG Smart TV)

I think right now using the notifications screen for this 'at a glance' info and using the home screen for launching full apps, accomplishes the goal you are seeking. I would love to see the iPad interface evolve a bit and not look so much like my phone. I don't feel like they are using all that space as elegantly as they could be.
It's getting there, but it's not ideal yet. At a glance means I don't have to do anything but glance. To see the widgets now, you have to wake up the phone and then swipe right.

The phones are available on Fi and at Google Store for full value or financing. I think Google Now On Tap is gone.
Did you see the stream? One of the presenters used Now on Tap (or something similar) to look up a restaurant which was mentioned in an SMS.

No, instead you had unremovable "useful" apps like "Apple Watch" instead. Luckly they managed to at least let users hide that in iOS10, but it's still a cesspool of rarely used apps.
If by cesspool you mean a single folder on a hidden home page containing unused default apps, then yes, I suppose you're correct.
Put another way.. You're manually 'fixing' the iOS UX to operate like the Android "default"?

It has 2GB less ram, and the same processor (slightly higher clock speed) and same gpu, vs the oneplus 3
> the same processor (slightly higher clock speed) So... not the same. Also the GPU is faster too. I'll agree with you that it's silly that they're still trying to pass a 1080p screen and lack of SD card as high end though.

How is it not easy to discover? You flip the switch, the phone buzzes and shows you what happened. It's one of the few buttons on the phone, it's not like it's hard to find. Not to mention contextually it's right next to the volume buttons which is where it should be.
When you do that it has a big crossed out bell, which worries you the alarm isn't going to go. I never sleep well if I have an early flight as I'm never 100% sure I haven't silenced the alarm!
