Agreed, it's definitely Apple taking a step in the direction toward features I miss about Android.
Hope at one point they can behave like true widgets--really miss things like the Hue widget on my Galaxy allowing me to control preset lighting at the tap of a button, without needing to navigate through the app.
Maybe this can be done through shortcuts as well? Haven't really invested the time and effort to develop my understanding of shortcut's possibilities.
Windows 8 gets a lot of flak, but I always remember looking at it and thinking that something in Microsoft's DNA had changed. It seemed a risky design move for an outfit seen as risk-averse.
And I really like the 2017 iPhone SE in my pocket right now, but I loved the Nokia Lumia 920 I owned a few years ago, before a long drive in a torrential downpour destroyed it. The (live) tiles were one of the things I loved; bigger tiles worked better for my stubby fingertips.
I held out for as long as I could in hopes of a Surface Phone being released before finally buying the iPhone. The Duo is a nice bit of hardware, but it's Android, which I have never liked.
I have two major heart breaks here. WebOS dying first. Then like you and a responder, having (I think) Lucia 920 die what would’ve been a slow death but I got some water on it as well after a shower and with the end of Windows in sight and nothing else but the big two left, resigned my self to iOS.
That was a daylight robbery of all my words.
I loved Lumia 920 and chose it over the iphone 5s at the time. Wanted the industrial design to succeed so much. Sad that with so much clout, MS could not get enough apps.

The only action taken when you tap in one is open the app.
Android widgets have much more functionality.
