Who is realistically going to carry around a second digital camera with them? Of course cameras are better than smartphones, but the best camera is the one you have with you at the moment.
I've taken thousands of photos that I never would have thanks to my iphone.

I am looking for a mood tracking app for the iPhone.
It would be nice to have a long list of moods/feelings to choose from. I think I want to allow me to enter a bit of text too.
It must be not subscription based.
If you know any please do share. Thank you

This kind of user-centered design was utterly baffling to the people steeped in the pre-iPhone mobile market. The shop where I’d being doing that mobile app work set out to make their iPhone app. We’d try to create clear, simple, information-focused UX that was a pleasure to •use• for its intended purpose, not just a pleasure to •look at• in a demo, and…
…we’d get pushback. Soooooo much pushback. “Can you add more graphics?” “It looks too boring!” “Shouldn’t it do something when you shake it?”

User-centered design is what made the iPhone take over the mobile world. But that was then. Now? Now I agree with what @… said.
Byzantine navigation. Confusing state. Gratuitous graphical flair. Designed for marketing, not for user experience.
Full circle. The iOS 26 is the new J2ME.

When I first started working on mobile apps, the iPhone didn’t exist yet. We were writing J2ME code for devices like the Motorola Razr. And wow did the UI on those things suck.
By “suck,” I mean byzantine navigation and confusing state drenched in useless, gratuitous graphical flair. I mean UI designed for eye-catching ads and splashy demos — not for making the thing clear or pleasant to use.
It was design centered on how people imagined the the device made them •look•, not on what •experience• it created for them.

Building (or rebuilding) a manufacturing ecosystem - the skilled workforce and complex supply chain - takes time and money. I haven't seen much evidence that this is recognized, or supported, in #47's world, or indeed the "market" (the private investment that will take years to show a return on capital).
Interesting contrast between Foxconn in India:

I remember in particular one phone that used an •animated fire background• to indicated the currently highlighted menu item. It was just embarrassing.
The iPhone was such a breath of fresh air. Of course it was eye-catching too — but what really made it soar was the •experience•. You can see it in that famous launch demo when Jobs does the “slide to unlock:” the audience absolutely loses it, so much that he has to repeat it.
Why? Because you could sense, even from the demo, that the experience was wonderful.

Oh, the arguments we had! There was a marketing person — quite a good one, and a good person too — who just couldn’t see it, who fought the dev team tooth and nail on this. She finally relented when @… wrote a brief positive plug for our app, and made her realize that the landscape had changed and her J2ME-world design instincts just didn’t work in this new iPhone market.
(I’m not sure that company ever really made the shift. They struggled with and eventually dropped their general consumer app, and concentrated quite successfully on some pro markets where features ruled all.)

#Apple Nerds out there: If I have an iPhone with a completely broken screen (no touch, no display, no face ID) that is working well otherwise, is there any way to unlock it? I know the passcode.
If I connect an external display via USB-C I only briefly see "unlock the phone to use USB accessories", but without any touch input it can't be unlocked.
Catch 22 or any way out?
