I may have talked to you about this, but I feel the same, iOS 7 also absolutely marred the sustained & graphical performance of the OS via the over reliance on increasingly n-dimensional neon or parallax bullshit whereas skeuomorphic design needed a lift but was nominally perfect by way of consistency and hardware demands. I miss Forstall a lot. I even feel their hardware today is designed a bit more sloppily. Idk, people cheered the departure of Ive or Forstall.

Really other than Tim whom I don’t care for — Craig Federighi is cog incarnate. Software has only had one good fucking release on iOS since 7 — that being iOS 12. I can’t even imagine how pernicious the internal influence has been on a normative scale adjusted toward “Apple design and UX of Forstall”

I’m afraid that iOS release quality has always been terrible garbage for me even if I liked Scott Forstalls design aesthetics.

I have had an iOS device since iPhone launched. October of 2012 my iPhone backups made locally and in iCloud could not be restored due to corruption. No one at Apple could help. I contacted Tim Cook’s office and they spent a short period of time confirming the inevitable.

I lost about a year of text messages that I thought were backed up. Everything else I could recover from other systems.
