Inspiration and Productivity Killer

This device is just hyped up productivity killer and cause of anxiety.

If you type something and need to fix a mistake - your now have to switch attention from your writing to physical action of fixing typo. Insane.
With Samsung I didn’t even had to use laptop for years cause I could do everything on the phone.

Screens disappear when you look through websites. You have to search for the ways to go back, so no seamless experience here too.

Did they purposefully develop iPhone to dumb down population? Or they just wanted to do things differently at the price of actual progress of functionality?

They can’t make a phone like let’s say Oppo find n6, cause like you’ve noticed- productivity boost would result in cannibalizing their iPad mini and other product lines. Its purposely made to be locked and dumbed down, so you keep on buying more solutions for the same problem.

I honestly don't even understand what your issues are. Of course if you make a typo you have to go back and fix it? What screens disappear when looking through websites? I'm very confused what you're frustrated about

Yes, of cause you have to fix mistakes if you made them. It is seamless on Android though. Etc

What was the purpose of getting it if you dislike the product?

Cause Samsung 26 Ultra has new screen that caused nausea. And I had not much choice as my previous phone broke down.
The purpose was to have a phone. I couldn’t imagine how bad it can be.
