This youtube video explains everything why iPhones do not need a back button. nod.gif

Iphone design is much more advanced than you thought. Until today, iOS still does not need a button.

Everytime i see Android phone users pressing the "Back" button. It makes me wanna laugh at them. sweat.gif

You get used to the gestures very fast.

I switched from Samsung S8 to iPhone back in 2019.

But tbh a back button is still a better feature. Just not that important until you really miss it.

How many times do you press the "Back Button" a day?

100 times? 300 times? sweat.gif

Yup that’s why every time I buy a new phone for my dad it will be set up with the 3 buttons.

Trying to explain gestures to 60+ y/o… I don’t need that stress in my life.

The moment my android phone had an update for gestures, I never looked back to using the back button. It's way more intuitive and frees your screen space.

I try to open new tab / windows for Web site but sometimes too lazy

Average back button usage daily is 50x to 100x easily

most androids nowadays have swipe gestures to go back. and with phone sizes over 6 inches, it's stupid to put a tiny back button on the top part of the phone.
