Don't fall into a fallacy: just because "no deity or supernatural abilities need to apply" doesn't mean that a deity or supernatural abilities haven't applied.

The only honest positions we can take are: I believe / I don't believe.

This is a problem interesting enough, with huge potential benefits for humanity if it manages to improve anything, which it did.

not enough that I cannot use the phone without restarting the app

but enough to piss me off when I remember the phone costs 1.5k

- inconsistent

- basic functionalities are hidden under nested menus or keyboard shortcuts

- other functionalities are hidden on unrelated apps (scan documents is on notes app)

- spotify cannot playlists download on the background (triggers too many individual downloads, they claim it is to safe battery, I bet apple music has no issues with this)

- notification center: broken UI constantly

- wanna go back? good look: swipe right, or out of reach top-left corner small arrow button

- hard to click small buttons as icons, I have to click everything 2-3 times until I get it right

- no button to ignore incoming calls...

- dynamic island UI broken if you dare to turn the phone horizontally

- files app crashes constantly

- many more issues my brain has forgotten..

Same for iPhone 14 and 15 (me and wife), most bugged phones I've ever used, notification center is constantly broken on both, UI is inconsistent everywhere, super weird decisions like the calculator doesn't have history or to scan a doc I have to use the notes app (wtf)

most expensive and worst software experience I've ever used
