I think I am starting to get worried about the future of Apple.

2016 was a bad year. New iPhone has been the worst selling one in relative numbers since the iPhone. New MacBooks has several issues and controversial choices, while not bringing anything substantial to the table. New Watch changes are so small, nobody noticed an update.

Anecdotally, among my (20 something year old) friends, the iPhone used to be a must-have for many reasons; now, it's only a must-have for imessage. If android phones could send "blue texts" than I'm sure many would switch over.

The non-iPhone users don't send the blue text. Your sent texts are blue on your iPhone if you're messaging another iPhone user and it's green if not.

Though, who actually cares about this and why?

Anyway, I recently switched to iOS for an experiment and my biggest gripe is: no back button. Instead of a conveniently placed button, I have to always reach up to the upper left corner of the app to go back.

My second biggest gripe is that links from Apple's shitty programs only want to open in Safari instead of my browser.

And third, I can't organize my icons the way I want to. Typical Apple: No choices. Their way or the highway. Fuck you power-users and people who know what they want.

It's getting less common, but some people still pay exorbitant per-message rates for SMS. I no longer care, but when iMessage first came out I was really happy that I could finally text (some) people freely.

I'm floating in the same social circle right now. 99% of my friends and family have an apple device to communicate. I just kicked the text-messaging subscription bucket.

I only have unlimited texting because it ended up being cheaper for me to get a package that included it. It's nice to be able to sign up for SMS alerts and such without worrying about the cost, but if it hadn't been cheaper I'd still be relying on iMessage for everything.
