What a terrible sentiment. It’s honestly fucking impressive how easy an iPhone is to use for old people. My dad grew up in rural Mexico without any electricity and never learned how to use a computer. His first smartphone was an S3 and he HATED it. My mom traded it in for an iPhone, and he was close to losing his mind again until he used it for a few weeks. Dad learned well enough on his own that when he asked me to respond to a text for him while we were fixing a car, I unlocked his phone and Safari was open on Pornhub.
Dude’s figured out how to use Spotify and can listen to all the music he grew up with and hasn’t been able to find CDs for. I used to have to sit with him to take his annual trainings on my laptop because he couldn’t figure out a keyboard and mouse. Don’t even get me started on how well Apple handles accessibility features for disabled people.
Not everyone needs side loading or the ability to do shit like change your system font. Not everybody needs root access. Should Apple make that available for the people who want it? Fuck yeah they should. But 99% of the time, the phone works well and fits most people’s use-cases.
Anyway, I’m a tech-savvy zoomer and I use an iPhone (and Arch btw). Even the biggest FOSS guy in my old IT job switched to an iPhone (he uses Arch too btw). Definitely not just for boomers.
I find the iPhone interface extremely unintuitive. I have one for work, and I’m a complete imbecile at using it, despite being decently tech-savvy. Everything I want to do is not were I expect it to be, it takes me forever to find things and settings.
