sorry, it's true. Microsoft beat them to the punch when they saw the tide turn against skeumorphism with their clean, Modern design, and Apple is still playing catch-up.

there is nothing good about windows 8's interface. it's as equally full of non-discoverable crap, and is really ugly to boot.

and windows 10 made it even uglier.

I thought that Windows 8/10's metro interface was slightly excusable because it probably worked pretty well on tablets.

Then I got a thinkpad tablet and the interface for touch is even worse

I love keeping up with this thread. The schadenfreude of watching people get angry E: the righteous indignation over non-halal uses of sacred Apple®™(c) technology is amazing. Bonus points for posts which rely solely on strawmen and ad hominem (that is, all of them).

You should do that before they stop signing it, then.

Also, why didn't you upgrade to iOS 9.3.5 already? It fixes a major security hole that was recently discovered.

once I clicked "install overnight" or whatever it was and it didn't so gently caress it now I just click later and have to do that every single day. sick of this poo poo

yeah so far so good and agreed my 6 non-S non-plus feels faster than before, poo poo works smoother, animations better

its like timb told everyone to just "close out all the poo poo you been meaning to for a year" and added a couple silly addons and did some UI overhauls

seems like a good update so far?

A few months ago I bought one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ACSND1C/ and although the sound quality is garbage as one would expect, it's still pretty nice to be able to just shove it into your ear canal and then sort of forget about it, and go on doing whatever (e.g. yard work, running) without worrying about cords tangling or whatever

I do look forward to the near future when we have high quality, reasonable priced wireless stereo earbuds that almost disappear inside your ears without big retarded tubes sticking out
