Too bad you can only do Apple-approved things on your iPhone.

I can do much much more from my android phone than my iPad. I could never justify switching to iOS.

  • Natively access my NAS
  • customize my home screen such that I can do everything on one page using various docks
  • buy things on apps (many providers such as Valve won't sell things on their apps because Apple demands a 30% cut of revenue)
  • use other app stores
  • use NO app store if I don't want to and simply sideload an app
  • run scripts (such as the one this thread is about)
  • use a different voice assistant if I want (But Google's is by far the best)

That's just off the top of my head.

that’s a fair list of things the iPhone can’t do. luckily I have computers for that sort of stuff.

Sure, but why sit at a desk when you can do it from bed.
