“All have tactile keyboards.”
That’s what I miss the most. I find my iPhone always does strange and unknown things whenever I look at it cross-eyed, accidentally breathe on it, or maybe a brief passing touch somewhere on the screen. Then it’s the old game “What app is this? Where am I on the phone? How do I get out of this?”
Of course, that’s because of the touchscreen. Let’s not forget the constant app and OS updates that happen while you are sleeping and you wake to a different phone. Features you liked are gone or moved or modified. New features I don’t want or will ever use pop up and intrude. This is not progress. It’s designed to drive you crazy.
I’d pay extra for a phone frozen in time. No changes for five years, maybe ten. None.
Then, to make life perfect, get real people answering phones again and get companies to stop the recorded messages “Para español, presione 2.” Why hasn’t President Trump issued an EO banning “Para español, presione 2”?
“How do I get out of this?””
On the iPhone you swipe up from the bottom.
On Android you hit the home “button”.
“Let’s not forget the constant app and OS updates that happen while you are sleeping and you wake to a different phone.”
Happened to me a couple days ago when my Android updated. I have it the OK to do the updates. Little did I know that a setting was changed to back up to the cloud. I specifically disable that. The update disabled my disable. The Tech Coach guy told me they’re moving to AI as much as possible.
Photos were disappearing. AI was assuming where certain photos should be stored, and shuffled them all over the place. I need to find a stand-alone app for photos that Google can’t mess with.
