Fuck Tim Apple and his gifting of trinkets to a shit demon.
Opinion? That’s a fact. We use androidified version of iOS just because the guy was just after profiting.
Is this where we share all of our Apple woes?
I had to use an iPhone for work the other day. The up arrow to send a text message was present but not responding.
Oh, the autocorrect has highlighted a word it thinks I misspelled, and I'm guessing we can't send because a word is highlighted?! OK, tap elsewhere on the message to cancel highlight; it still won't send, WTF? Tap AGAIN elsewhere on the message, and now it can send.
Lots of reaching up to the top of the screen for no reason, too. Why are there controls up there when my thumbs are already at the bottom for the keyboard? I have to reconfigure my grip on the expensive device I don't want to drop, just for basic user interactions.
iPhone always leaves me wondering who approved the software working like this, have they ever used a computer before; and how is Android going to degrade in an attempt to copy this behavior?

Apple, you buy one, you regret it for the rest of your life. Never ever again.They were the best when competition was Windows 95 and immature Linux or when iPhone was the only phone with usable UI. But in 2026 Apple is just an "Idiot tax".
