#2Was expecting some angle on privacy/security here given recent buzz. Disappointed to find that this was some complaints about UI with a strong 'stop liking things that I don't like' vibe.

#3"On Android, if you check your email, or similarly handle a notification for another application on a different device the notification disappears on your phone. Not so on iOS. You are going to see that notification on every iOS device you have and have to clear it on every one, or just ignore the notification center entirely"
This. It drives me up the wall. My ipad is forever cluttered with notifications for stuff that I have already seen and checked, because somehow iOS is incapable of clearing these notifications, god knows why. If I have a new discord notification on my android phone, and then open discord on my pc, that notification disappears. Why can't it work on iOS too???

All of the author's complaints are also... incredibly minor. I understand small UI quirks can make a big impact but this is stuff any OS can fix (or make worse) in a single update.

#5My biggest peeve is that the Bluetooth toggle doesn’t ape you to turn Bluetooth off completely. It only puts it in some low power idle mode or something.
The decision was made for apple watch and airpods to keep the connection I think.
To turn Bluetooth really off, one has to go to settings > Bluetooth, then toggle.

Why would you ever want to turn bluetooth off?

It can, but right now it's up to developers to implement it and they just don't bother.

#8How did this make it to the front page with the very real concerns going on? Its about extremely minor UX issues that while annoying aren't exactly equivalent to the privacy issues right now iOS users are dealing with.
The author clearly used the fact most people never click on a link to read it to their advantage to get an incredibly meh blog post to the front.

#9A bit of an amateurish article with 3 paragraphs. I don't see why this is on Hacker News.

Both the UX and the privacy issues on iOS are symptoms of the user having absolutely no control (zero) of the system software.
