Trust me iPhones are premium, once you get familiar with the settings you can customize anything to your liking

Is that so? So I can have links open in specified apps rather than having majority open in safari?

the iPhone is great but there are some serious weaknesses in its user experience that just lead me to wonder what they were thinking.

Yes you can have links open in other apps, either other browsers or specific apps (say, a tripit link will open in the tripit app).

That’s not true. I run into the issue all the time. For example if I click a link in the peloton Reddit to a ride it opens up in the browser, and not the Peloton app.

If I click a link to a tweet it opens, at best, to safari which then asks “do I want to open it in my twitter app”. At worst it just opens in safari without giving me an option.

Reddit links work similarly. And there are plenty of other examples. Meanwhile on android you can easily set default apps and to borrow a phrase, it just works.

Sometimes it’ll just redirect me to the App Store for download when the app is already installed.
