I own an Android phone. The first time I tried to send a text from my wife's iPhone, I sent the wrong text 3 times in a row because autocorrect was convinced that it knew the word I wanted and I swear that the word was corrected only after I had committed to pressing the send button. At the time the autocorrect on Android was very mild; it's gotten more aggressive since, but still nothing like Apple's

#42BY FAR #3 is the most annoying UX on iOS 26 - I fall for it every single time when trying to change payment method. Not only does it undo years of muscle memory, it's so unbelievably unintuitive to have the first button change address instead of payment method

#43This is a Claude-coded website that invents metrics and data based on bald-faced lies, ex. the first example makes up that the search in Mail does not work 100% of the time and then calculates fantastical millions of hours wasted. I can report it works fine, needed it to pull up 13 year old emails for me a couple months ago. I absolutely abhor Apple’s software QC since 2010 but I don’t think a vibe-coded, vibes-based…
Huh. How else would you get a massive company that has let certain bugs sit for decades to address them? This method is probably just as ineffective as reporting another bug into the Black Hole of Bug Reports that is Apple, but this one is at least mildly funnier? YMMV of course.

Do you think you might be taking it too seriously?

#45I used to love Apple because they were so far ahead of the game in terms of UX and hardware. They have dropped the ball so much recently with all these UX mishaps from Apple Glass to most of the bugs in the post that affect me. I am more than willing to switch to Android or some other device regardless of price, but haven't found one that is close to equivalent yet. I worry it'll be a few years before something comes close to the battery life + screen quality + camera quality + decent software/security of iOS.

#46Please add to the list "Launching Apple Music without you wanting to, at the worst possible moment", which is every moment, really.
There is even an app called noTunes to automatically close it. I've seen it get into a loop where it opens every single time it's closed. Of course Apple music is selling a subscription service when the app opens so no surprise why they open it.

#47iOS user here of a few years, never hit any of the bugs in this article.
Maybe Apple didn’t fix them because the bugs never existed in the first place.
Re: Bugs Apple loves
#48All these are so infuriating. It's crazy what a nice metal case and good hardware can make people forgive.
Re: Bugs Apple loves
#49This list is frustrating to read because it reminds me of all the time I've spent dealing with these bugs. Not all of them thankfully but more than half steal my time at least once on a weekly basis. They're all bad but I think the auto correct actively fighting me and the ios cursor thing are perhaps the most annoying of the bunch for me. Trying to communicate well on a mobile platform is bad enough but when it's actively sabotaging you it's just so much worse.

#50I laughed at “autocorrect will die on this hill.”
