the ascii art is very reminiscent of this snow simulation posted some time ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46691548
obviously not related at all, but enough to make me go "hm, this looks familiar" :)

a couple years ago it felt like the iPhone just worked. currently, it's so buggy i can't ignore it. some of these which i encounter every day:
- screen is dimmed when unlocked, then after a minute or so, goes to normal brightness
- touch screen does not work when receiving calls, so i can't answer. same for alarms, where i have to use the volume buttons to snooze the alarm, then touch starts working so i can manually clear it
- alarms not going off, or just being silent. so many time's i've woken up next to my phone being completely silent with the alarm interface being active
- keyboard not appearing sometimes causing layout issues
- using reduced transparency in Apple Music causes a huge empty area to appear in the bottom bar where the dynamic (?) "current song playing" appears
- rearranging icons on the home screen feel like it's a 50/50 chance moving the icon actually succeeds. the other half of the times, the icon just returns to where ever it was before
- re-arranging the control center do not register, or actions are delayed and makes it so un-intuitive what is going on
some design things which are intended which annoy me so much are: - plugging in a charger will force show you the battery, so you can't use your phone for a few seconds - hold and dragging the keyboard spacebar to move the cursor has some delay until the keyboard returns to normal, and tapping the spacebar again (when i need to place a spacebar) resets the delay
iMessage and AirDrop is so convenient, and the integration with AirPods is super clean. i would really like to continue using iPhone, but every day i feel somewhat depressed over how laggy iOS is :(
with claude, i got the response:
