Switching from Android, I was shocked by how much in fact did not just work. I kept a running list of basic features that were clearly broken.

Especially around text editing. It seems like they made some fundamental mistakes with their text inputs that they are playing hard defense on. I never know if a given field is going to respond to long-press, double tap, or what context menu I will get if any.

Totally agree. I swapped about 2 years ago (work requirements), and I battle against the Apple keyboard every single day. I prefer the Android keyboard in every single way - it’s more intuitive, works better, more logical, significantly better auto-correct, significantly better text selection, much better prediction, and so on.

Everything seems so much more intuitive and just easier in Android.

For how good the Apple hardware is compared to the rest (especially MacBooks), the software really lets it down.
