The user interface is not as straightforward as other operating systems, and those little details decrease a lot the productivity somebody might have using a mobile OS. Pros The user interface is visually appealing. The system runs smooth Cons The system does not allow the user to perform super simple tasks that any other mobile operating system would do easily, more than a decade ago. There is no way to share a file using Bluetooth connection for scenarios without network. There is no way to send full res video or images in WhatsApp. Everything is ruled by an Apple Account, which is super invasive. Migrating any kind of information is a nightmare. The multitasking system takes time to get use to. The gestures can't perform any task faster than simple buttons. There is no way to install an app from a source other than Apple Store. Mike D.
