Most Apple apps are somewhat bad nowadays. It largely defeat the marketing/purpose of the "ecosystem" because the 3rd party stuff doesn't necessarily integrate the "special sauce" (like sharing for passing stuff around). So if you end up just running 3rd party apps that are just some web app wrapper or custom implementation UI it begs the question of even using Apple hardware. Yes it's top of the line, but it is also very expensive at any given level of performance.

They are just milking their media/dev niches at this point and mostly caters to the common denominator with low expectation for premium prices.

If you gotta run Chrome, Microsoft Office, Google Web Apps and the likes it doesn't feel worth it. Meanwhile the indie app market is insane with expensive subscription for utilities that are basically free elsewhere.

And I lowkey hate what iOS has become. Convoluted and unpredictable. Now ugly as well.
