Which really sucks and puts you off from getting more Apple devices if you're a person who slowly buys into the ecosystem rather than go all-in without testing things.
Personally, I was a fan of Apple laptops between something like 2010 - 2015, but after that I just couldn't deal with it anymore, as I had a Android phone and nothing else Apple.
Fast forward to 2019, Apple finally releases a phone that fits in my tiny hands, so I get a iPhone 12 Mini, thinking that the CarPlay experience will be loads better than Android Auto on a measly Moto G.
But holy smokes if I wasn't wrong, CarPlay is a UX disaster and I can't wait for the iPhone to break somehow or get too slow because of OS upgrades, so I can justify buying a new phone again.
Just the simple fact that a phone calls covers the entire screen (which I use for GPS) seems like such a simple use case that they somehow missed, that I just wanna bin the entire system and I'll never buy Apple hardware for daily use again.
I still have to use Apple laptops for software I release, but every time, I'm reminded how great the UX used to be, but how far they have fallen. Really sad to see. Windows is no better either, each version gets worse and worse...
