Apple can screw up. The Watch is a joke and Apple Music is so bad it couldn’t even distribute Swift’s show properly, assuming you could find it to begin with. Steve Jobs was all about interface, making it simple, stupid. But it seems he came from a lost civilization that we may not revisit for millennia. Jobs was about eliminating options, now we’ve got so many choices, so much ability to customize, that not only do we not know how to use our devices/apps, we don’t want to.

3d touch seems like it could be useful once its standard and has a bunch of app support

but iOS ui design is sort of all over the place. i'm getting more and more convinced that everyone - including apple - is just trying to cram too much poo poo into phone apps.

like, i was using spotify for ios. i wanted to remove a song from a playlist. i try swiping it away - well, that displayed some weird green message that disappeared when i released my thumb and i didn't see what it was. so i swiped it again the same way, now its a red message that said 'removed from my music', but the song was still on the playlist. so i swipe the same direction again and it added it back to my music, which i don't even know what the gently caress is. i swipe it away again to remove it. "maybe i swipe the other way?" so i swipe from right to left and that moves the entire app back a page out of the playlist. i go back in, carefully swipe right to left, which did something else that wasn't removing it from the playlist and had a grey label, idgaf. i try pressing and holding which does nothing. i push the little '...' icon next to the track name which brings up a bunch of options i don't care about, but no way to remove the song from the loving playlist. i finally notice another little pencil icon when i scroll back to the top of the playlist, tap that, that makes poo poo editable and i finally delete the loving song

apple music's ui is about as awful but its problems are more related to playlists not syncing and weird behavior when you have music on the device that isn't available in apple music

Wow, how the article is written is more interesting than the content. It is like the author is furiously masterbating over Star Wars and demanding that Apple release a light saber just because they managed to release a great phone and tablet within their puberty.

it's really hard when you have these tiny mobile devices that are more powerful than a general purpose computer was a few years ago to try to restrict it to what it's actually good at instead of letting the general purpose computer experience [which is pretty miserable] creep in

feature creep, like ennui, is inevitable :smith:

voice control would be a good compromise towards making things more sane if it wasn't for 1) bad voice recognition 2) you look like an idiot when you talk to your phone in public as opposed to talking into it

os x is getting more and more shite and we're not upgrading any hardware that didn't ship with 10.10 to 10.10/11 because it's loving terrible and nobody will put up with it
