Android's file structure is bad, yes. But does iOS even have a file structure? In my very limited time using iOS, I couldn't find anything resembling a file explorer.

It does. But most of it is locked to the user. Mostly, it's just the user directory that you have access to, which is the correct way.

There isn't an equivalent on iOS

iOS has had a file explorer for years at this point

And it sucks

(not that google's files app isn't a mess either)

I think it's fine for the handsets, but if they're trying to push the iPad as a "semi computer" for the general consumer it really needs to be revamped. You can do many of the same things file managers do on other operating systems, but it's extremely non-intuitive at times — so many users think the functionality is missing. Because if they don't know it's there it might as well be!

we had a ducking sane file structure on symbian. Before apple knew what smartphone means. We had sane file structure on siemens phones.

There's no excuse for the unholy abomination of what manufacturers call an "operating system" on a smartphone these days.

It does have a files app now and it's so good compared to Android file apps right now
