I dislike having icons on home screen, I use drawers and the only place that has icon is the dock.

- No back button or consistent back action, can't swipe back from either side of the screen like you can with Android.
- When there is a back button, it's in the #1 most inaccessible part of the screen
- Can only use Safari (other brosers are just themed Safari)
- Because you can't have other browsers, you can't have browser plugins.
- You can use a custom keyboard... But only sometimes. It won't let you do it for passwords. This is very frustrating as their stock keyboard sucks ass and you don't have that muscle memory, they should just do it all the time.
- iMessage
- Inability to side load apps or install from places outside the app store that extorts developers
These are a few things that if resolved, would make me decide to use iOS over Android.

No option for focus follows mouse. And no way to implement it due to the way the menu bar works.
App Window management in Mac OS is beyond infuriating. Time ago it was non existent so you had to download a third party app to enable a clunky version, now it exists but you have to right click on the green dot and hope the snapping menu pops up (sometimes it opens some other menu). I just want MS Windows style “move an app window to the side of the screen and have it automatically snap to take up that half (or quarter)” not the clunky idiotic implementation Apple has provided. The number of hours I have racked up wasting my time resizing and moving windows around manually is obscene.
Also hardware related: the fucking charging port on the magic mouse will go down in history as the stupidest, anti-user design decision in human history.

This is for watchOS, but when you add a watchface, look closely at the activity digital face... There is an activity complication in the corner. It makes me SO mad, I chatted with Apple and they just ended it. I really hate it.
Clipboard management on iOS. At least I can get Maccy on macOS, but on iOS I’m just stuck to suffer through copy/paste hell.
How useless the mail app is.
The calculator needs to allow a few more digits.
I second this, everytime I shut the mail app down or sleep my Mac the mail app prompts me to sign in again with my Gmail accounts. (could also be Google of course) - if anyone has a good suggestion for a better email client that supports ProtonMail bridge, I'd love to hear about it.
Thunderbird, or at least it supports the bridge app on Linux.

MacOS: that it is not possible to permanently connect my Mac Mini to my Homepod Mini and also to get rid of the 2s audio delay. It drives me mad when I move forward in a song or YouTube video (same on iPad)
