       | There are so many obvious bugs in recent iOS. My favorite is the
       | one where the carrier / wifi / clock / battery "status line" will
       | blur to unreadability, and then ... never unblur. Kill apps, lock
       | and unlock phone, change status line settings (like "show battery
       | percentage")... Nope. Need to reboot the device.

           | a whole systemic failure there. Where was QA? Where was their
           | manager? Etc.

             | manager. And eventually the profit margin.

         | is horrific. Bugs vs spyware.

       | I wish they stopped adding features, especially useless UI
       | "improvements" and AI stuff nobody asks for, and focused on
       | making the system rock solid as we're used to.
