How has it taken them so long to realise that the bottom navigation UI means reachable UI elements?!

Apple hasn't learned it. That's the main reason I haven't switched. That and no browser options or 3rd party app stores, can't use 3rd party keyboard 100% of the time.

Looks like lot of things changed since last time you actually used an apple device. Apple has swipe down to search for a while now which doesn’t require reaching up. Safari has option to put url bar to top but default is bottom for more than a year now which is reachable. I personally never understood need for third party keyboard apps but that’s personal choice. 3rd party app store is valid suggestion but that seems to be coming in future update. but might be restricted only to EU. You could probably access it by setting iPhone region to some country in EU but that’s speculation.

I'm still waiting on putting my homescreen icons wherever I want and changing the grid size. Jailbroken iPhones are truly the best way to use those devices.

You look at android themes and every phone looks unique. Go on iOS setups and they're almost all the same but arranged slightly differently.
