Android’s file structure is bad, yes. But does iOS even have a file structure? In my very limited time using iOS, I couldn’t find anything resembling a file explorer.
Had a gf throw that thing against a cinder block wall, off a concrete floor, and basically explode everywhere. i picked upthe parts, snapped it back together, turned it back on and left.
android has no official “files” app though?
google files is a technically a 3rd party app and the AOSP files app is usually hidden and used only as a file picker.
the AOSP file picker is so ass, everytime I get a new android i have to install Mixplorer (not affiliated with the Xiaomi brand) just to have a sane experience picking my files
I think it’s fine for the handsets, but if they’re trying to push the iPad as a “semi computer” for the general consumer it really needs to be revamped. You can do many of the same things file managers do on other operating systems, but it’s extremely non-intuitive at times — so many users think the functionality is missing. Because if they don’t know it’s there it might as well be!

we had a ducking sane file structure on symbian. Before apple knew what smartphone means. We had sane file structure on siemens phones.
There’s no excuse for the unholy abomination of what manufacturers call an “operating system” on a smartphone these days.
Peak symbian was the sony ericsson p1i.

I would like a double jbc, please
It does have a files app now and it’s so good compared to Android file apps right now

The Samsung ones rudimentary, but it does the job
It does. But most of it is locked to the user. Mostly, it’s just the user directory that you have access to, which is the correct way.
There isn’t an equivalent on iOS
iOS has had a file explorer for years at this point
And it sucks
(not that google’s files app isn’t a mess either)
