Don't get me wrong, they have some great things about it. Garage Band, for instance. It's just not forward thinking, not quality or design oriented anymore, and tries to keep you on their cloud pretty strongly. At least that's how it was around 2017.

    Remember iTunes, if I had gone out with the intention of making an inferior product I don't think I would have succeeded. I cannot believe that they were prepared to slap their name onto that utterly garbage piece of software and then proceed to never fix it.

    It's still a bewildering oversight that, or something just like it, is the only way you can link with a device.

    If you stuff your phone with photos, you can't delete them by connecting them to a computer and sorting through them on that. You have to use a utility to import them either straight onto the computer, or delete them separately on the phone. Even if you use a Mac instead of a PC, you basically need to work with an iTunes-like interface.

    Especially with the focus on trying to make the iPad a computer. You're still largely relegated to the iTunes-type interface, unless you sidestep it with a cloud service, or Airdrop.
