Below are all my personal opinion

I like the screen size, i like their widgets - but too big for me for my daily pocket

I dont like the way android works when alerts come and it is inside the notification centre where all the notifications are grouped according to apps. For iOS, when a message comes, you activate the screen you will see the message and its content. In android you dont, you have to bring down the notification to see it. Take whatsapp for example, in iOS locked screen you can read all the messages without unlocking the phone. For android, you have to bring down the noti center, then tap on the Whatsapp (19 messages), only than it launches whatsapp for you. I work in mobile portal personalization and all these extra taps on the screen is tedious for mobile users. Lesser taps to get to where you want is the best design.

iPhone keyboard does not lag as much as android's. Yes you can say we can download custom keyboards (free and paid) from Playstore which might be able to provide you with better experience but iOS comes with a default free keyboard which i can type faster.

Android users might not like what i said but they have their own view on these matters.

so all in all, it depends on what you want to achieve with the OS.

Hmm on your first part i think you need to activate the message preview from whatsapp. Same goes to other messaging apps. If you turn on the message preview then you will get what you want from iOS as above mention. On the 2nd part about the keyboard i agree with you. The predictive keyboard sucks. I always typo... doh.gif

i know about that preview but it is not as refined as iOS

and what i said earlier is when you activate the screen, you see a list of msges in iOS. in android you dont.
