Yeah, it’s super-obvious. In many cases they’ve put work into implementing crap that’s useless without a lot more work to add more features… or they could have done something much simpler and it’d at least be a lot better than what they’ve actually done.
My camera roll is full of screenshots of my lock screen and occasional random website.
I was going to say - do they use their own devices? But if they don’t - what do they use? I mean it’s an iphone…
Same goes for removing the home physical button.
I hear they are coming for the physical mute toggle next.
Also many venues like cinemas, theaters or planetariums require you to turn the phone off for the duration of the performance.
Also you may need to save battery, e.g. on a long trip with no way to charge the phone.
To save battery on a long trip, I combine airplane mode with low-power mode. Then my iPhone 8's battery level does not move.
…which I do countless times a day, and apple put their “screenshot” combination buttons on opposite sides of the screen, EXACTLY where I hold it.
Because if I don’t - it butt-dials random numbers. And by random - I don’t mean digits, but something a lot worse - a russian roulette of employers, acquaintances, municipal services, businesses or anything else that happens to be in recent calls, or contacts, or numbers that dialed me, or that I dialed, or… you get the idea.
