I hate Apple and their designs so much. it’s very intentional too, the way they make it such an inconvenience to deal with any non-Apple electronic device to the point where you feel compelled to buy more of their products just to accomodate your phone. The way they impose unnecessary updates so that you’re almost forced to upgrade to a newer model because now your phone is no longer compatible with even their own products. The way they make it such a hassle to transfer your photos and data to a non-Apple product, so the longer you have an iPhone the harder it is to switch to another brand. The way they insist upon automatically sharpening your photos for no reason and making your selfies look fried to tabsolute hell with no ability to disable it. (Still don’t understand that one, it’s just stupid design.) The way their products are so awfully flimsy that they just break for no goddamn reason and Oh no! looks like you need to upgrade to another stupid ass iPhone because all your photos are automatically uploaded to the iCloud and you had no warning or prep time to find a way to save everything to another cloud! pisses me off. someday i’ll free myself of this corporate curse…
anyways if there’s one lesson about design you can glean from this god awful mess of an evil corporation, it’s to not make your consumers hate you, i guess. put the people first. also Macbooks are so confusing to navigate i still refuse to use one.
