I have owned every apple device ever made except the watch and what I experience is bigger devices filled with more glitter and useless trash and redundancy that in intrusive , pops up when you done want it and the stuff you need you cant find. Then there is the daily reboot on the ipad pro necessary to clear a locked up app. Yes its simpley, simply more and more illogical and harder to use.
just my experience but to old to change now
Do you have a Mac XL?
Just kidding. I get by pretty well with my iPod Touch 5th gen. (That’s why I have typos) I agree with you about the glitz. Make it fast, make it work. I stick with Apple cor quality of hardware and aversion to Google.
