yea the user interface sucks. have friends who swear up and down it’s the most intuitive interface and i just don’t get it.
it’s duplo. some people need the gutter bumpers and parts too big to be a choking hazard.
“I don’t need to do any of that fancy stuff… I just need it to check my emails and surf the webs.”
then ask why they paid $2500 for something to do what a $300 device can do, and wait for the angry choking sounds while they explain how the marked up busy box with training wheels is for the superior consumer.
The only reason I can fathom why most non-tech people like Apple is because 1) MS sucks worse in many ways 2) they have internalized the marketing hype, aesthetics and logic of $$$ means better
I’ve been forced to use an iphone and mac for work about 6 months ago, and the mac is mostly just annoying at times, while the iphone is really much more annoying generally. Both of them make doing a lot of common daily things like connect bluetooth device take 2x as many clicks/taps than they need to be.
I think it’s worth pointing out that the Apple ecosystem is really good, too. iMessage may be annoyingly closed down, but it is so nice to be able to text people with my keyboard
Huh? I basically never use my phone to access Whatsapp, although it doesn’t have an official Linux client the web interface is good enough.
Overpriced. Status symbols. Not even better for security, that’s just a marketing thing and some nerds got caught up in it. The code is closed you literally can’t tell how secure it really is and they can create whatever backdoors they want.
Android also has issues but you can at least load aftermarket ROMs to take more control over the device and security yourself.
