It’s crazy that Apple is producing hardware that I would want now. Where’s the equivalent thinkpad??
Like it or not, Apple makes great hardware, especially now. They are evil though, and their software is definitely in decline. But the hardware is great.
I’d say basic = good but now that iOS has had more and more options for everything in each version, I think it has approached Android in too many ways. There is now bajillion different ways to do stuff, when earlier there was one (albeit sometimes little limited). And you can configure so much stuff that it becomes difficult to see what affects what.
But I would not describe iOS as ”basic” anymore, perhaps limited in some niche use cases but if you find yourself hitting those limits too often, just jump to Android. When I can run x86 Linux apps and services constantly on background on my iPhone (iSH w/ location services forced on) or even Windows XP for the heck of it (UTM), I don’t see much limitations in what can (theoretically) be done. Sideloading is also an upwards trend on iOS, when Google is now set to kill it on Android.
Apple is a little too strict on what options they present to the user, I agree, but they do have 1 good rule they (usually) follow for it.
Does this solve a problem? If yes, try to make it idiot proof before letting others access it because we are going to have to support this thing. If not, don’t expose it to the user so we can keep that premium Fischer-price signal to noise ratio.

I cannot get over how basic iOS is, it’s not in decline it’s just never been that good.
