Introducing the iShit; it looks so good that you won't even notice the smell.
But yeah realistically Cr'Apple has done nothing worth a shit in my opinion. I've had iPhones since 4 and all I can say is I keep hating it more and more every year. Like the hardware is good but the OS is ... I want to punch someone in the face angry. At this point you need a manual on how to use your phone; one with a few hundred pages, troubleshooting guide. I'm slowly switching to using my Linux based phone because honestly it's easier. It's like apple decided we want to make things as complicated as andriod. I need a phone for phone calls, texts, watching videos, and browsing the web. Somehow they fucked that up. Half the shit I wonder who the fuck signed off on this change. I got the phone in my left hand and my pecker in my right and yet the close tab button now is on the right side of the tab, so stretch your thumb.
Just using the phone feels like it does whatever it wants and I'm a backseat driver.
Yea the last year has felt like the gave up on QA entirely. There’s no polish. No obsession with little details you can’t really market but absolutely notice in day to day use. Nothing is intuitive or clever or even pleasant to use anymore. It’s hostile. I like my iPhone air but it will be my last Apple product. I’m going full Linux.
If something is screwed up, I want it to be my fault for free rather than someone else’s for $1000. My mistakes get fixed. Theirs get dragged out in profitable ways.
I totally agree. Same here, I make sure to say this is the last iPhone I will buy to it since it's always listening anyway. Some of the UI stuff, I sit and wonder why? The worst part is when I boot up an old iphone to look at old pictures and it... works great.
