Biggest reason why I don't dare to change to iPhone is lack of the back button

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.

Even for My android device, I enabled the 3 button instead of using gesture

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

100 times? 300 times? sweat.gif

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

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