My iPhone experiment is now over.

My iPhone experiment is now over. I'll post couple of thoughts to this collection still after I get back to normal routine with my 6p.

One thing that made me think is that if I were to move to iOS permanently I'd have to fiddle with a lot of apps to get my accounts over. Many (I'd even say most) apps that offer Google login on Android do not do so on iOS. While some of the apps offer a migration path via setting a password and starting to use that to login some do not offer any way for me to get my account to iOS if the account is tied to Google. That is pretty scary...

I hate creating usernames and passwords to apps. In fact, I often just uninstall an app if it doesn't support using Google (or some other) login mechanism. On Android I've been using Google login for every app it is available but what I didn't know was that I've been also locking myself to Android with that.

I wonder what has driven the iOS devs not to implement Google login. Is it difficult to implement or just deemed unnecessary?
