    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.

      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.

        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.

      • I really raeg when someone says “apple invented the smartphone” like let me kill you know and save myself the anguish of wishing i had

        I had a Kyocera 6035, literally the first commercially available smartphone. Ran PalmOS. (It’s literally my picture on the WP page for it) 2001, a few months before the iPod, never mind the iPhone.

            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!

      It does have a files app now and it’s so good compared to Android file apps right now

        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.

            yeah vendors usually ship their own file explorer apps

      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.
