My mother's upgrading from a Huawei P9 to an iPhone she received as a gift (don't know which model it is).

She doesn't know how to use iOS and I'm finding it difficult to teach her, since I don't know how it works either, so I was wondering if it was possible to install some version of Android on it.

Sorry if it's the wrong community to post this in

You can’t seriously argue iOS is harder to learn over the myriad of android oses and their frequent updates

I'm not arguing that? I'm acknowledging that learning any new software takes some level of effort. Nice straw man though!

That’s not what strawman is but okay lmao.

Anywho, and realigning the conversation away from being passive aggressive… (I don’t miss Reddit do you?)

You specifically asked if returning a gift (tacky by many peoples standards) was worth learning a new (simpler) OS. Of course it is, not to mention the myriad of other reasons including security and privacy which you conveniently left out when posing an ultimatum of sorts.

Your reading comprehension needs work. Have a nice day.

Recently, I've been watching a bunch of "an Android user switched to iPhone" and "an iPhone user switched to Android" type of videos.

From what I can tell, iOS is, in fact, harder to adapt to, compared to Android.

Even tech-savvy guys like Marques outright say that "unlike Android, it's very easy to forget how to use iPhones" (not an exact quote, but similar meaning).
