There already is a global back gesture. Swiping from the left edge of screen towards the right takes you back. If you’re talking about that gaudy button strip on Android, then I hope that never comes to iOS, that looks ugly, wastes screen real-estate, and isn’t as smooth as iOS’s swipe gestures. But maybe there’s some other Android navigation thing I don’t know about?How about an actual global back gesture, like Android has? Being able to swipe from either edge makes a world of difference, especially for people that hold their phone with the right hand. Having to reach over to the other side with my right hand just doesn't feel right.
Do you think Apple will ever implement this? I think it would bring over a lot of Android users. The user experience alone is worth it for me.
Which iPad? Neither of my Pros do this.For me at this point the most important thing is the control center on iPadOS. It is absolutely asinine that it takes up the entire iPad display for absolutely no reason. It’s fine on iOS but for iPads the control center is honestly just an insult.
Possibly if one adds too many additional items to control center. Example from a iPad mini 6Which iPad? Neither of my Pros do this.

No I'm not talking about the button strip. On android you can go back by swiping from the left or right edge. On iPhone it's only the left edge which is awkward for right handed use.There already is a global back gesture. Swiping from the left edge of screen towards the right takes you back.

Honestly, I think that would be very awkward and hard to remember. Swiping on the left edge to go back makes intuitive sense, it’s like flipping the page on a book. Switching that around wouldn’t make much sense to me. Maybe they could make that a setting? Come to think about it, that may already be an Accessibility Setting.No I'm not talking about the button strip. On android you can go back by swiping from the left or right edge.

I was gonna say, isn't there an API for all apps to use to swipe back like that?You definitely can do that. As demonstrated here:

I imagine it will always be there in some form. The shape and the notch have become an important part of Apple's visual identity to the point that they added it to their laptops. I get that its taking up otherwise dead space in the Manu Bar but they could have just as easily hidden a punchhole camera in the black Apple logo in the top left-hand corner. It doesn't bother me either way but they made a clear choice.There are still about 2-3 years to go! 😉
Next Year's iPhone 16 Pro Still on Track to Feature Under-Display Face ID, Followed By Under-Display Selfie Camera in 2026
Apple is still on track to switch to under-display Face ID technology next year that will provide more usable display area on iPhone 16 Pro models,...www.macrumors.com
I like the display notch and Dynamic Island. I’m actually hoping that they add either a notch or Dynamic Island to the iPad Pro. I think that would look really cool, but it would definitely need to be in the landscape position so it would be more like the lid of a MacBook. But I’m hoping that iOS 18 will make better use of the Dynamic Island on iOS, and will add more functionality to the Status Bar on iPadOS.I imagine it will always be there in some form.
